1. I have been thinking about this a lot. What does the future look like for programmers? I mean, there are already companies that have software that allow consumers to do most of the things we need to already like Microsoft office, tax paying software, business software, so why would programmers be needed in the future to make new software that does the same things. To me, it looks as if its mostly going to be reusing and upgrading software to make it better because why would we need 2 different software that does the same thing? Why make a second microsoft office when it would be better to upgrade the one we have now?
2.What about programming for entertainment? I think for desktop software it might be more of reusing and upgrading but for example, the video game industry, I think programming will always be new because there are always different types of ideas for video games. Sure the game engines might be reused or upgraded, but eventually, a new company will come out with a different game engine to give players a different experience then the previous company. Thats not how it works in desktop software, unless a company might want to make their own Microsoft office with a "different experience", but what would be the point of that?
I know I kind of got onto a different subject from 1 to 2, but my question overall is, what will programming in the future be like (consider all the different industries)?
