How many of these jobs will stay gone? I feel like I've seen this over and over where a new advancement causes job loss then management realizes it wasn't all it was cracked up to be and need to hire again.
It may make working for a non-software-primary company as a programmer more risky. But then, "be a value provider, where execs can draw a fairly straight line from your contribution to revenue, and not a value consumer" is not new career advice.
See the jobless recovery after 2008 and how long it took the economy to get back on track.
