Isn’t this the same pattern that other fields have followed as they gradually became more automated? A hundred years ago, a cobbler was a skilled craftsperson who combined creative problem-solving with a variety of techniques to hand-make shoes to the precise specifications of each foot. Today, shoes are made in a factory, with humans limited to watching the line to catch the occasional defect.
- minusf 4y agothere are still handmade shoes and suits. if i could afford them, i wouldnt buy mass produced stuff where i have to fit into the producers sizing chart. a big part of me not liking windows and preferring the open source world was also not wanting to use the lowest common denominator quality operating system and applications. handmade, handcrafted stuff will be always head and shoulders above the rest, software included.
