I beg to differ on your second point - at my company we've fully embraced AWS and putting vendor lock-in issues aside, the end result is focusing more on the application and less on the minutiae of operational issues which is a big win. This makes things much more interesting since you can get there faster and consequently take on more impactful projects in the same timeframe. This in general is a boon for developers in my experience.

Somehow I don't think physical laborers ever complain when they get new and more powerful tools to make their job easier.

It's only software engineers that bemoan their lives getting easier, so they can spend more time working on other problems higher up the abstraction chain.

> good - my job is really easy

Longterm isn't this bad? For example, if you can do it with 5 years experience. At 15 years experience you'll likely be too expensive for companies to want to hire you. They'll just hire more junior people.
