Machists

On: The Extinction of the Programming Species

Your analogy only works if you insist that the names used to describe the professions haven't changed.

The need to pump a belows and pound on the iron with a hammer may have vanished, but the need for people skilled at using tools to produce parts for other tools is still filled quite comfortably by machinists.

And they still get paid pretty well.
