Watching the Ukraine war gave me some related thoughts.
You may have seen that there's now a load of drones flying around, doing things that were never possible until now. Dropping bombs on soldiers in trenches, giving support for assaults, targeting artillery.
The fact is war changes with technology. Spearmen and cavalry are obsolete now. Maybe pilots will be soon as well.
But the generals are not. There's always a need for someone to say "given the position we're in, and the logistics we have, and the resources we have, and what we know about the enemy, we should do this..." and this role is still recognizable through history.
Whether computer jobs become obsolete depends on whether you're closer to the general end or the footsoldier end.
