The counterintuitive part of automation is that it removes parts of the economy rather than making the economy bigger. You end up with more goods but the value people assign to them goes down as they don't provide additional social advantage.

For example at one point nails were 0.5% of the economy and today owning a nail factory is a low margin business that has no social status.

Similarly the percentage of the economy and social status associated with frontend software dev will get automated and become a smaller percentage of the economy.

Since social status is a zero sum game people increase spending in other areas where social status can be helped.
