Website, DB, & Software Developers

I'm not sure about the old school ideas about programming with their sorting algorithms and such. (hope you realize I kid... as you say, things have changed lately)

I think of software development, perhaps architecture, as how objects related to one another, OOP and all the intricacies of what the user expects to get done. The user sees a program or site do something, and they done't usually appreciate the thousands of 'moving parts' working in synchronicity, much less the extensibility of the code (if well written) and the way it interacts with data from other sources. I mean what a user thinks of as "just one thing" might require dozens of considerations.

So when computers think like us, people will just ask the computers to do this stuff, not us. I think this will happen in about 18 years so I'm wondering if there will be any role for us anymore.
