Always difficult to predict what our industry will look like in the future, but I think this the one thing we can all agree with. The way we work will change at some point. If you go back 50 years, every single job that existed then has changed today. My father is a farmer, like is father before him. The way he works today has nothing to do with what was done 50 years ago.

I've read countless articles saying: 'Soon, we won't need software developers anymore .´ I'm having trouble understanding this. Our jobs will change, we will automate many many things, but I think it's safe to say if we don't need software developers in our world, that would mean every other job in every other industry has already been fully automated.

Anyway, good article !
