Ask HN: Why Programmer Is One of the Jobs That Are Disappearing?

Some days ago Inc magazine published an article showing jobs that will disappear from today to 10 years. Apparently it's based in projections made by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Any idea why this will happen?

    They seem to think US programming jobs will be outsourced to other countries.

    maybe the projection that programming jobs will disappear in 10 years is due to a programming 'error' ... it would be a genius move to discourage people from becoming programmers in order to decrease supply and drive programmer salaries up
