Well what I say is if you’re job is being replaced by a robot learn how to work
on robots.;). Meaning if you can’t beat em, join em. We go through these
things as our technologies change. Back around the turn of the 20th century
there was a booming horse and buggy business. Then Henry Ford, Dangler and
several other visionaries hit the scene started cranking out cars and the horse
game dried up. However, think of all the jobs created by Mr. Ford or our
friends across the pond. Ideally you have to bob and weave with the punches.

Jessica seems quite okay with streamlining complex or tedious tasks,
especially when the method utilized clearly requires that the one
doing the streamlining understands the process.
What she seems to take objection to are hand-holdy setup wizards,
especially ones that obfuscate what's going on under the hood.
And honestly, I think there are lots of people who like streamlining
but find hand holding annoying.
As for people losing their jobs due to streamlining, considering that
its usually unpleasant, tedious jobs such affected, I think the real
tragedy is that so many people find themselves doing a job they'd
rather hand over to a robot to make ends meet and that its so hard to
actually make a living doing something you enjoy. Sadly, passion
projects seldom manage to put food on the table and thus often take a
back seat to less pleasant work that does.
