    Just realised that study was contained in the main article. It's been going around for quite some time now. Deloitte also did a piece on this. Funnily enough, in terms of the referenced Oxford study, computer systems analysts rank very low with regard to susceptibility to automation.

      Analysis can't be automated, code monkey work that has already been offshored is rather easier to automate

        Indeed. There's actually quite a few IT/software jobs in there that have a low susceptibility to it, which make active use of coding skills, so I guess it's just a matter of how diverse your overall skillset is/can be.

          I've seen them used in a number of places. Where they're sold as "you don't need developers anymore", they fail, because you still need to understand how to program to use the tool effectively. Where they're sold as tools to speed up developments, then they're rather more useful. A decent IDE is essentially a CASE tool.
          Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!

            Yeah, I remember RPG as the language that would eliminate programmers. I made quite a good living out of it in the 70s and 80s.
