Ask HN: Is there a bubble in software work? What's the 5/10 year forecast?

I'm reading The Click Moment, where the author writes, "Ten years ago, if you wanted to guarantee yourself a life of financial security, one of the surest paths was to become a lawyer." So law programs and students blew up, and the result was companies like LegalZoom offering routine legal work for $25, and it's no longer deemed a "hot" field. I'm wondering what you guys think about this. With AWS releasing CodeGuru, (which aims to reduce hours spent debugging and testing) I suspect a similar thing could happen. I'm in ${BIG_TECH_CITY} where there are bootcamp ads plastered on buses and in my YouTube ads. I just doubt there will be work for new bootcamp grads, say, 5 or 10 years from now.
