Except that my statement isn't extreme or supports either extreme. I said 'less' programmers, not 'none' or only programmers / all people being programmers.

I still stand by that no-one (including Big Tech companies) is safe, especially after the 2022 tech layoffs which happened to many and tools like ChatGPT will eventually reduce the need to hire lots of programmers like before.

It is not going to be the same as the hiring euphoria that happened last year.

I understand you disagree, but I am pointing out that you can just as well predict extremely positive outcomes instead of your pessimistic ones, which you probably convince yourself are 'realistic', but there is no such thing as 'realistic' predictions, because we live in true emergent chaos.

So, you have a choice how to look at the world.
