The first computers needed a half a dozen of technicians to simply do basic operations, today you barely need one.
With the advance of languages, libraries and compilers programming is now accessible even to brainlets and that's exactly why it will be automated much sooner than expected.
Most of the code in an applications today is absolutely trivial, you even see the average code monkey brag about what they really do half of the day is copy pasting stack overflow.
Google hires any retard who did a bootcamp specifically because they currently need little hands to maintain their codebase and do tasks assigned by the software architect.
The moment they automate this they will save tens of billions a year, you will only need one or two guys to handle a project requiring 15 people today. App builders like
bubble.is (which doesn't even use any machine learning) are a good example of how it begins.
CStards think they are sheltered from the trend because they believe inputing basic logic with a keyboard is hard. But the truth is that they are on the frontline and unlike other jobs there are no material, economical or social obstacles to their automation.
If your job mostly consists in inputting shits in a computer then you are the most accessible thing to replace in the near future.
