All evidence to the contrary. Software is eating the world, and continues to at a rapid pace. Transportation, medicine, and finance have only begun to be eaten.

All evidence to the contrary. Software is eating the world, and continues to at a rapid pace. Transportation, medicine, and finance have only begun to be eaten. This trend is far from over and when it's done, there will only be programmers and their machines. Programming will be the only job. It's the most inclusive industry. It's the only industry where people are going to trade-schools for mere months and then getting jobs with 2-3x their previous salary.

> It's the most inclusive industry. Doesn't look like that from where I'm sitting. A lot of companies demand degrees in relevant subjects, quite a few of my younger colleagues (well those under 35 anyway, almost all of them are younger now that I am sixty :-) ) have computer science degrees. Very few of them are black, or South American, or ${your-favourite-minority}, and there seem to be fewer women every year.
