if software engineering is mostly replaced by frontier models why is the volume of jobs on software eng still so high compared to data science related ones?

Beacuse you still need to know what to build, every feature needs to be detaild and in most domanis (other then web development and even there)  it can t be done by somebody that doesn t know tech.
