Those are only the first steps.

Those are only the first steps. Companies with a relatively inflexible amount of programming that they need doing might lay off staff, but it'll have neglible net effect while other companies want more work done faster. How much unmet need for software is there in the world? Probably an enormous amount. It's pretty easy to think of software you wished existed or wished had an extra ten thousand hours of improvements put into it. It could take decades before efficiency gains translate into reducing numbers of programmers in employment. ... Edit: I mean competent programmers in employment. Easy to imagine that when there are more highly productive programmers around there will be less need for the ones that are less so.
