Having worked a variety of skilled and unskilled blue collar jobs before working in software, this article was spot on in many ways. One eerily relatable part was the example about:

At a past job I heard that a recently married coworker had used a drive through chapel for the service. I was pretty surprised and asked him about it. His memorable reply was to shrug and say, "Well when it's your third time you mostly just want to get through it quickly".
As it happens I ran into the couple five or six years later, after having left the company, and they were still together and seemed happy.
