How. How is a software engineer building saas applications in 2025 replacing a manual bookkeeper?

manual bookkeeper? a quickbooks user? or pen and paper? either way, it's not like any of you are manually entering debits and credits regularly into a journal like they have done forever before computers, databases, and software. we're not losing jobs because of ai but because we're in the middle of switching gas tanks. just a low energy production is causing everyone to panic and blame it on ai. i have so much work i wish i had the money to hire people. they're all just waiting for things to get cheaper. it's not like they don't have enough money to survive indefinitely, if they can make 90mil in two years vs 10mil now, the math is simple, just wait.
