One word: money.
They (CEOs and executives, shareholders, etc) don't like how much it costs to make software. They think software engineers make too much money.
You (a human) are always a cost they will try to reduce.

- Rury 2y agoYeah, this is pretty much the answer when it comes to jobs. I mean why do people do their own oil changes, instead of leaving the job to their mechanic? Why would anyone try to replace their mechanic? You might argue for trust, quality, or time reasons, but arguably only so because of how they relate to costs.
