Things may change when(if) our machines get smarter than us. Currently we're constantly expanding the complexity of our systems, but since they don't understand their underlying purpose, they can't help us manage that complexity without drastically limiting their flexibility, there's no working around that. But if they knew what they were doing, instead of "I need to reorganise this database stack to reduce overhead" we'll be giving simple commands like "please stop taking over the world" and letting the machines handle the complex details.
