Programming in particular, though fun, has always been kind of a piece part job. Aparently easily out sourced, and now easily automated. I say aparently because out sourcing and off-shoring turned out not to be that easy. We are now going to find out about AI.

One reason I did not go into IT 40 years ago was this reason. I went into the physical sciences and engineering. I was wrong then it turned out. Who knows now.
