What this score means for Web Developer.

The Web Developer role is in the exposed band. A meaningful share of what entry-level practitioners do today is being automated. The role itself isn't going away on a 5-year horizon, but the path into it is changing faster than most professional bodies acknowledge. Specialization and the durable human-judgment layer are where the next decade of compensation lives. Over the next 5 years the score is projected to drift down by 11 points based on the technology vertical's drift rate. Quarterly recomputes track the actual change.
