"Will the surge in demand for widgets make widget-makers obsolete?"
Okay, so it was a sensational title. The point was more that we're in a bubble caused by a lack of engineering talent, and the point about obsolescence was just me trying to figure out what it would look like to solve that problem.
"If companies weren't so desperate to solve their widget making problems, the bubble would deflate, and people who don't know how to make widgets would be in demand again. Problems solved."
