Making knowledge workers more effective and efficient replaces some of them.
I work at a former tech giant, now a small media company. 10-15 years ago, this company hired people to write a scalable TCL enabled webserver [1], a time series collection system, and all sorts of other basic software systems.
Today, you'd just use apache, graphite, etc. You wouldn't hire someone to build them for you. Technology has replaced developers.
