With software development as #1 on the chopping block and having virtually no chance of legal protections, I expect this occupation to be a major canary in the coalmine for possible mass job loss in other sectors.

I think it's plausible that AI will be awesome at software development in two years, but that doesn't necessarily mean that it will completely eat software development roles. While software development is among the jobs with the least chance of legal protection, I wouldn't completely rule it out, as we're talking about unprecedented circumstances.

High-tech job losses will trigger a chain of economic effects outside of the tech industry, with the impact much deeper than their direct effect.
