Creatives will have their hopes and dreams stripped away so that artless and tasteless software engineers can type words into a box and instantly get exactly what they want, with no surprises, no feelings, and no economic upsides for anyone else. A beautiful future indeed.
- axus 3y agoWon't the creatives be able to type the software specification into a box, and add functionality to their endeavor without needing programmers? I'm not sure that the process and the paycheck are more important than the final artifact.

- rogerclark 3y agoYou must not know any designers. Pretty much everyone I know would consider that to be pretty fun – this is exactly the kind of thing artistic kids say they want to do when they grow up. And most of us would rather get paid to design cereal boxes than to do many other things, and almost everyone would rather do it than to not get paid at all.
