Who's to say it won't actually do the same to itself?

The ultimate aim of every programmer should be to ensure that folks don't need him/her anymore. Take ATMs, the system is made mroe and more reliable, self-sufficient, reducing the need for programming. automatiion is the future.

Absolutely. It's hard not to marvel at the idea that some jobs that were considered (not so long ago) havens for genius and paid accordingly are now being done for (relative) pennies in underdeveloped countries. I think that's incredible, and not a bad thing at all.
