just like the field of medicine or law owes you nothing, the tech industry owes you nothing. it does not need to solve your problems. it is annoying that people think it should.
the reason that tech prep and tech programs and STEM are promoted, and kids are sold on “learn to code”, is to LOWER THE COST OF DEVELOPMENT.
- chii 5y ago> is to LOWER THE COST OF DEVELOPMENT. you say it like it's a bad thing. Lowering the cost of _anything_ is good for society overall. It makes this resource more affordable for all entities requiring such resources, and it increases total output. Doctors today costs too much, because there's a lobby group called the AMA that restricts entrants (rightly or wrongly). i would argue that it's better to have lower cost, because this service is valuable to people, and if the cost matches the value (or exceed the value), then some people will miss out on being able to utilize this resource.
