The same reason all companies try to reduce labor: cut costs, better returns for shareholders. There's nothing special about SWEs vs any other class of worker.

There's nothing special about SWEs vs any other class of worker. If they can be replaced or eliminated, they will be, just like any other worker.
- thr0waway001 2y agoThis is the sad truth. We like to think we're special but we're not. I'd argue a paramedic is more special. Those people save lives and get paid like shit compared to us.

- insane_dreamer 2y agoYou know what job is safer than a SWE? A barber. Think about it -- what's the ROI on creating a robot so sophisticated that it can handle all the intricacies and special customer requests of hair cutting/styling? You're unlikely to save any money over hiring humans.
