Striking cross-country variation: The countries in which the largest % of people think it's likely AI will replace their job in the next 5 years tend to be lower-avg-income countries (🇹🇭🇮🇩🇮🇳🇿🇦 )... ....in contrast to richer countries like 🇨🇦🇳🇱 🇩🇪 ...the 🇺🇸 being an outlier.

AI-generated code continues a decades-long climb toward greater abstraction, from compilers to frameworks. Automation shifts what engineers do long before it erases the role.
