Hi, there is a real chance that your job as a programmer will be "automated" in the near future. This might happen because 1: due to globalization and internet a 7 year old from wherever can do your job for like half the price OR 2: computer will become better in understanding problems. I think the second option is around for about 20 or 30 years. It all starts with AI (Artificial Intelligence). Actually, i don't see any major breaking news in this sector despite its becoming "hip" again. A real automation for our developer minds is probably out of near future (+50 years). Its a developers mind to get a problem from a customer, understand what the customer wants, offer different solutions (future oriented, short term, secure solutions etc.) and finally solve the problem. Was my answer corresponding to your question or did you meant something else with "automation of IT Jobs"? Greets, Chris
