As a software developer, I do want to see software developers lose their jobs to AI. This shouldn't be surprising, as the purpose of a lot of software development is to put other people out of a job via automation, and that's fundamentally a good thing. The alternative is like wanting a return to preindustrial society. Automation generally raises quality of life.
The real problem is that we still haven't figured out how to distribute the benefits of society's automation efforts equitably so that they raise quality of life for everyone.
