Put another way, the downside of utopia is that it's very hard to make a living sweeping up excrement off of the streets anymore - those jobs are simply gone.

Put another way, the downside of utopia is that it's very hard to make a living sweeping up excrement off of the streets anymore - those jobs are simply gone. And they're not coming back, either. The reason I make this analogy is that programming isn't fun†. It's maddeningly difficult. As far as I'm concerned, plugging ML nodes into client-side interfaces can't get here fast enough. † I don't care if you "think" you like it - just like someone might think they like sweeping excrement all day.
