The job and stock market believe most software development companies/verticals are ~25-50% less valuable than they were about a year ago. What do you think, is the restructuring of market dynamics currently underpriced or overblown?

I have a few sources that say software development companies are going to tank by 2029 no question due to AI.

I can prove it will happen earlier but no one will believe me.
