I wonder how this will continue. Because it's not just so simple for these people, right ... phase 1:
1) software eats the world (this is far from complete, even in CAD)
which leads to phase 2:
2) a growing part of the knowledge of how industry X works (in this case construction, and of course fighter jet design) gets transferred into software (both into software companies, and directly into software) ... and forgotten by actual practitioners
3) software, to an extent, leaves those practitioners behind (first by needing much fewer of them), then it outright destroys them by demanding an ever greater share of the profits of industry X

4) autodesk ... please inform me what phase 4 is.
