> What can we do? There is no stopping the train of automation. Spend a year or two teaching people to program. It'll give your brain a nice rest It won't solve the world's problems but that's something you can do as an individual. Or you can read about your local politicians and start a Facebook page to support the ones whose views you share. Job functions have been changing since the cracking of coconuts with rocks. There is no need to stop this train. Teaching helps society advance. If we spend some time teaching programming, whether formally or informally, I think that counts for a lot.
