The writer is mostly complaining about the "utterly average" programmer being slowly being automated out of the industry. How at one point knowing just CSS/HTML was enough, then when it came time to transfer over to Angular some of her friends couldn't make it. And how at some point that same automation will be coming to Utility/Drudge work Angular transitions as well. Compares it to how many writers are constantly getting laid off in the news industry, while a select few like New York Times writers do quite well. (kind of surprised they didn't go for more brutal forms of writing like novelists to be honest). Something about comparing both to fatcat bankers, and how those doing well love nothing better than to ignore the people far below their level. ______________ Don't really get why someone who has a convergence of skills/careers of writing and programming can't find an interesting paid niche for themselves. Also don't get why Medium would think people would want to pay them $5 a month for stories like this. That's only a little less than a months worth of Sunday Newspaper buys of your favored publication. That will be usually be way above Medium quality. (you do get 3 free stories a month)...
