I object to the word "apocalypse", it is just business as usual. Better automation has been "reducing the number of people required to deliver technical solutions" for ages. Local Area Networks replaced many mainframe computers in the 80's. Optimized C compilers took the jobs of countless Assembly programmers. WordPress, Joomla and better web frameworks (Django, Rails) took the jobs of many Perl/Web developers. Python enabled a lot of people to do what FORTRAN/Java/C++ programmers were able to do before. "Apocalypse" is just the normal state of affairs.
