I know the leftist in me is supposed to have sympathy for these people and get them to unionize. But only after I stop laughing and enjoying this moment. For years these fucks told the rest of us to “learn to code” and pretended like studying anything else at uni was a fucking waste of time.
GUESS WHAT FUCKERS. SO WAS CODING. Looks like we’ll be baristas together, only I’ll have three years of experience!!!
as techie i feel awful but as a leftist im with all of you
Learn to code bros have fallen. All that’s left are the Go to trade school bros who act like trades are completely free to learn, guarantee unionized employment and don’t absolutely destroy your body.
Oh no, they’re boomers with cushy white-collar jobs who want YOU to go to trade school.
From the way they see it, trades are manly and if you become a macho man in the trades, they can live vicariously through you in being manly as a way to make up for their own insecurities in their masculinity.
Really though this probably has more to do with the high interest rates than AI at this point
honestly if all web dev jobs collapse in like 10 years, it’d still be worth it for me due to just how incredibly relaxed my remote work job is.
The thing about mental labor (or worse, simultaneous mental and physical labor) versus physical labor that really sucks is… You don’t have time for your own thoughts. Can’t listen to a podcast. You can’t even listen to music with lyrics. You’re stuck thinking only about some goddamn bullshit for 8 hours a day every day.
Some kinds of mental labor use different parts of the brain and that doesn’t apply as much… But anything heavily word-based takes up your full attention
