There’s an obvious grain of truth in this Twitter comment from tech and science reporter Christopher Mims: if your job can be automated and mechanised, there’s little chance of it surviving. But there’s also a useful bonus lesson for developers: someone will always need to program the robot.

Automation is bad news if your job gets automated away, but good news if you understand how to control the process. From that viewpoint, learning to code seems a wiser career move than ever.
Being smarter than a robot is the new having a job.
