I think creative analysts may have a brighter future than programmers. When almost anyone can build software, the real skill shifts from knowing how to build something to understanding what is worth building in the first place. Creativity, judgement, curiosity and the ability to see consequences may become far more valuable than simply being able to write code.

Product design also becomes more important. You can build a new UX every day but your userbase can only handle a new UX or two every year, so creating and validating good ideas and strategies becomes more valuable.

Or just entrepreneurs - people willing to take a risk to build something, and effort to promote / sell / hustle. They have always done well as a group, and now they are likely to shine even more.

(I am empathically not one of those so times are getting even more interesting for me :)
