Automation is always a good thing. Should we stop progress to allow humans to do some inefficient work? Society will have to change so that work is something done by machines, not humans.

I'm not making an argument that it is bad by any means, im only countering a common thread in development circles that 'development will never be at risk of automation'

for an example, see kapv89's response to my comment. Its a seemingly very prevalent view that somehow development will not suffer job losses from the efficiency gains innovation is able to create.
