Take Python which is a language with a continually growing number of frameworks. Those frameworks take care of the majority of the grunt work that developers have traditionally had to do. The API extensibility of those frameworks it the modern COTS experience. Those APIs are all destined for the cloud and the majority of your functionality will be consumed by those cloud APIs. Your job as a programmer is merely to sow a few of those APIs together to create a shim layer of functionality with a pretty user interface. When you get to this level of simplicity then the human factor can be quickly replaced. That's where robotics comes in.
