Routing protocols are how computers communicate network admin instructions to each other really really fast.

They're still just tools wielded by humans, even at a distance. Even today.

Moreover, who is going to write the next protocols we need?

This isn't a field that is done inventing. Not even remotely close.

OP was talking about a future where developers become obsolete because machines take over the development sector. Do you think writing protocols will be something humans will do better than machines?

Yes. Machines might come up with something that's 'good enough' though.
