Answer 1

The shortage or excess of people of one profession or another always affects only one thing: how easy or difficult it is to find a job for crappy specialists. So what you need to worry about is not how many idiots will try to become Software engineers, but about how to become a good specialist. And rushing to learn a profession just because a shortage of specialists is planned is a fig motivation.

Answer 2

There won't be too many specialists.
The profession is popular 10 years ago, now and in the future.
It is a completely different question what exactly a software engineer will do in ten years, because IT every 10 years is a very different IT.

Answer 3
