I'm confident the world will need more software developers than ever before, no matter where "AI" goes from here.

I don't think most of those jobs will be in the West, though.

Why not? Are there any software-related industries in the West where software engineers are not needed or won't be needed?

As in, full replacement of developers at Western companies by the "AI"? I would be very surprised.

I do suspect that developing software in California in 10-20 years may be looked at as if one were proposing a sweatshop to sew pants there right now.
