It’s an interesting thing being in the world of technology. I’m well aware of new applications that simply make life easier and more manageable yet could threaten the very job security that I hold so dear!
Better hardware, more effective software, and better processes threaten the “traditional” job roles.
For example, I know personally a number of friends in the storage space who have lost their jobs because a lot of the software around storage management and automation is now so good that that particular role is no longer needed.
