Everyone with your exact job title in your industry vanishes, how long until awful things happen?
I’m a support engineer for dental software. So difficult issues won’t get immediate resolutions, and instead development will actually have to fix things because offices will be crying at them for a fix instead of at me.
Admin paper pushers coordinate so others can have frictionless meetings. Most likely all meetings will be awful, and initiatives will not have approvals so fraud will propagate quickly
You say this as a joke, but it will not be business as usual. Trust is HUGE when it comes to investments. Without admin, trust goes down, investors become misers, total wealth decreases, and everyone will have the same credibility as a scammer on the phone talking about Nigerian princes etc. So it may not go to a barter economy, but several parts will stagnate because they can’t trust investing in their own company’s growth.
Oh no, the Business Systems Analysts are gone. Whatever shall we do. Society won't survive like this. Who's gonna analyze business requirements for systems. A tragedy, to be sure. 😶
Yeah. My team will keep producing software, but from now on its whatever the hell we feel like writing.
The good news is everything comes with a pinball mini-game Easter egg.
The bad news is nothing actually works.
Actually… This might be another one where I’m already living in this timeline and every BA I’ve met was my personal delusion created by my own brain trying to protect itself from the madness…
Farm worker. Food shortage, widespread food shortage. People would have to change their diets within a few weeks, and learn to hunt to avoid starvation in a few months. Unstaffed farms would be cleaned out for immediate food over time, and the price of anything edible not raised on a farm of some kind would shoot to the moon. Any automated farming that a landowner could run would be the way to go, for lack of workers.
Yeah, software dev disappearance I feel like would result in a slow Jenga game of things becoming more unstable until they all fall down at once. Unless we figure that the world will got completely ballistic at the prospect of multiple millions of people just vanishing, then the knock on effects won’t really matter.
