I think it should be obvious the sentiment expressed in antiwork is far from the mindset of those on HN. HN is specifically a community who mostly by choice spend their time in their career, and exploring concepts central to the skills which happen to be required to find success in their career. Modern stem is not for the uninterested. However it is important to understand that there is so much godamn meaningless and overtly superfluous work being done. The point of massive periods of invention and artificial evolution throughout human history I HAVE to believe have been centered around being able to “work” less. When people started using pulleys to build large works, I doubt the mindset was oh now I can build many more large works, as opposed to now I can accomplish building in far less time with far less effort. We create and innovate so that we may have recreational time. Yes for the HN community this is redundant, as a large number of us would like to be entrepreneurs or coding the day away for the inherent value that solving problems brings. But this is not necessarily a superior mindset to those whose recreation and leisure time does not inherently “produce”.
