There might be a period of time where product management and qa are still done by people, but I think that period will be transitory and short.

I think software engineers in general are grossly underestimating the probability they will be replaced. On a 20-30 year timeline, that probability might be close to 100%. Probably, it will also be gradual, and those who are displaced (starting with least experienced, to most), will not be able to find similar employment.

We are all more or less opting into this without a fight.
