      Bro’s legit out here thinking there’s some sort of meaningful wealth redistribution instead of winner takes all for the few, abject poverty for the rest.

        He’s a programmer, they’re not really known for their awareness outside of pretty specific problem solving.

          I’m a programmer. Programmers are the way the are because of biases inherent to pre-existing wealth and historically in-demand skills / high pay. It’s only a matter of time till they learn the boot of capitalism will crush them the same as any other worker.

            It was mostly a joke but I don’t disagree with your assessment.

      No, everyone knows we’re gonna do gardening or woodworking or something like that when we stop our programming career. Main thing is: something that’s as far as possible from a computer.

        I’m fixing classic cars now. If they have a computer it’s so old that there’s no danger of ROHS soldering and there aren’t even any programming ports. Just stick a sensor up the tailpipe and adjust some screws.

        Is even been better for my back than sitting at a desk was.
