It feels like developers who build libraries, frameworks, compilers, and dev tools might be safer from AI replacement compared to people building typical CRUD apps.
My intuition is that tooling work requires deeper systems knowledge and taste, while a lot of app-level code is becoming easier for AI to generate.
Am I wrong? Curious what others here think

And who needs an abstraction layer like a framework?
I’m not a web dev at all for instance and haven’t done web development in a decade. I was able to create a relatively feature filled internal web tool in less than a day using Codex-CLI. It didn’t use any frameworks just raw HTML.
