I don't think this job is dying, but rather evolving. Of the Unix admins I learned under, only the ones who were also okay programmers and adapted have a great job right now. The writing is on the wall for those that can't/refuse to program. I had an interview with Facebook and they were bragging about laying off 100's of sysadmins with a machine learning model.
Also, this is anecdotal, but of my friends who are software engs only, I make more as a "Systems Engineer" or "DevOps Engineer" or whatever buzzword by knowing systems and a moderate level of programming, but it is the same skills from the 90's applied to the "cloud".
