I can’t just quit the “career” that I’ve spent years building (for what else?). I’ll just fade somewhat gradually into unemployment, I imagine.

One, I think the talk about AI replacing developers is tripe. We’re still correcting the post-Covid hiring binge.
Two, even if that level is breached, I’d consider your skillset more broadly than what you can literally do right now. Organizing people and technical systems is hard. And the article highlights how that doesn’t seem to be something AI is focused on improving on right now. (Would take larger context windows. Which would make inference more expensive.)
I firmly believe that your existing skills and experience are more valuable in a world where the AI tools can speed up the bit where you type the code.
It's great that you believe this, but are you hiring?
I don't intend this to read as pure snark, but someone's abstract value isn't much good to them if the job market itself can't / won't recognize it.
