Only time will tell. In the meantime, I am not losing any sleep.

There's a lot of people in technical roles who chose to study programming and work at tech companies because it seemed like it would pay more than other roles. My own calculation is that the tech-but-could-have-just-as-easily-been-a-lawyer cohort will be the first to find themselves replaced. Is that a revealing a bias? Absolutely.

Actual hackers, in the true sense, will have no trouble finding ways to continue to be useful and hopefully well compensated.
