No, what I'm saying is that all indications are that the technological expertise needed to make Amazon move is becoming commodified. And as long as people in IT keep doing their jobs, they will continue to commodify themselves.

I recently purchased software that will cost my business $20,000 a year. And because of it, 2 of our techies making around $40k will be looking for work. Where's the brotherhood of techies? They've been putting non-IT people out of work for years, and now they're doing it to themselves. It's progress.

Sure, and countries have destroyed their technological bases and declined in economic power throughout history. That too is progess.
