> We don’t need people delivering news papers because the news is delivered digitally. That’s where your idea breaks. There’s a big swathe of people who prefer the feel and simplicity of newspapers over digital hellscape.
There’s also a reason why people prefer quality books like Folio Society over books printer on a toilet paper. > “IF” your job can be automated away or made more efficient it will. That might not be a benefit for your but it’s a benefit to society at large You can automate away 80% of CEOs by Markov chains, and it would be a benefit to society at large.

Because, at some level, people understand that a CEO’s job is largely about the human interaction part, so the real value of a human CEO is that last 20%.
The real value of a software engineer is also their own “last 20%”, but non-technical people (and many frustrated technical people) don’t really appreciate how much non-technical work is involved in being a good SWE.
