Programmers so far have been a textbook case of Jevons paradox where increasing the efficiency with which a resource can be used counter-intuitively causes the price to increase. Automating programing tasks results in programmers being more efficient letting them accomplish the same tasks in less time. This makes it less expensive to accomplish any given programming task which increases the demand for programming tasks which increases the demand for programmers. This causes the price of a programmer to increase even though it causes the price of accomplishing a programming task to decrease.
