If anything it proves how much mismanagement / wasted potential software organizations have had in the last 20 years. Full automation should be the natural progression of our trade but I fear most companies stall after 5ish years due to turnover, brain-drain, re-organizations, acquisitions, management incompetency etc. Google on the other hand has always had a seemingly never ending pool of resources and talent to keep pushing the barrier further. Fortunately they give a lot back to the community in the form of books, talks, and projects such as Kubernetes (a poor man's Borg). However I fear that with all things commercial it will lead to an oligarchy where companies like Google, Facebook, and Uber, are just that far ahead of the curve nobody else will ever catch up.
