Is not the point of code to do automation? Is not the end result loss of jobs?

  It's possible that I could work on something that would make jobs redundant, and I would have to ask myself whether or not that's something I want to do. Up till now I written a lot of code that automates parts of people's jobs, and they end up doing different, often much less tedious, work that their company needs instead. So far I haven't been responsible for anyone losing their job. Most of the code I've written to date has been to grow companies and create more jobs actually. That's one benefit of being in an industry from the early days.
