well at the surface level it might seem a bit strange, but when thinking a little bit about it, it makes total sense. your buddy can simply only deliver so many packages and letters in a day, impacting a few hundred people or so. Sure, its valuable, and required, but still.
You can write software that millions that each are enriched as much, possibly more than the package delivery your friend does. As such, you simply can command a much higher salary
- shafyy 4y agoHow many software engineers really write software that is as essential as a working postal service or working food services? Maybe 0.01% of all software engineers? I know that I'm not one of them.
- taylodl 4y agoThat's not how the labor market, and markets in general, work
- shafyy 4y agoI know that it's not how they work, that's why we're in this situation we're in. I'm saying it's absurd, and that we need to change something.
- taylodl 4y agoHistory shows change only comes about via revolution and revolutions are often violent and often leads to undesired changes. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I'm afraid there's no "soft landing" here. Between AI and climate change our future doesn't look so good. Certainly doesn't look peaceful.
