Ask HN: Where are SWE's being replaced?

Hi, in which software industries are Software Engineers no longer needed, or will soon no longer be needed?

What evidence or statistics or reasoning backs this up?

Background: I see a lot of posts on the HN frontpage about AI, in fact it's difficult to find any posts that aren't about AI. As a software engineer, I use LLMs extensively to help with my job. I also see that these machines are clearly not good enough to be left alone (for example Codex) to design or write anything that has more than one user.

Despite this, I see countless comments here of people, highly upvoted, saying that they recommend getting out of software engineering, that engineers will all be replaced, etc. and I simply have not seen it. I haven't seen AIs capable of engineering, I haven't seen LLMs that don't ignore prompts and do whatever they have been trained instead, etc.

So, where are SWE's being replaced? What is the time-frame we're looking at? Is the "Claude Code will take your job" just Claude marketing, or is it real in any capacity?
