With apologies to Martin Niemöller[1]:
First the automation came for the farmers, and I did not speak out —
Because I was not a farmer.
Then the automation came for the factory workers, and I did not speak out —
Because I was not a factory worker.
Then the automation came for the accountants, and I did not speak out —
Because I was not a accountant.
Then the automation came for me (a programmer) —
and there was no one left to speak for me.

- Rooster61 5y agoThen wait for them to realize how brittle the code is when nobody is considering the context into which this code is being foisted. They'll TRIPLE our salaries! :D
