There are people who see red whenever AI is involved. We've been automating away jobs for years, but now that we're starting to automate our own jobs, all of a sudden it's a moral outrage. People are just being emotional and not thinking straight. It will take a generation or two for it all to be accepted without drama.

There's so much to do in databases, and it's so hard to get right and test is all, I think we'll all have 10x the jobs. The easy stuff will go away, but to e.g.: test the new DB engine and ensure there aren't any exploits -> let's just work on it. But it's not that the introduction of compilers made engineers obsolete.
