i dunno where this idea of manual labor being treated as something so simple it shouldn't deserve a decent pay... i worked as a dishy also as a bicycle courier & i bet i'm ballparks more efficient than anyone who never had to these jobs we have a heck of a hard time emulating or creating navigational system for robots, specially if we don't train them million of times for extremely simple tasks like grabbing boxes in a controlled enviroment. let not mention energy usage these things need; point is: maybe reaching a plato of being a dishy is easier than coding/programming C for embedded systems, but we can't deny that a lot of people in tech don't learn or get into different fields projects all the time, so there isn't a "keep learning/tinkering hard all the time" type of thing... is it easier to build a website for a client with an open-source framework that you used for the 100th time or being at a almost 40 °C kitchen washing dishes in a speed way faster than one would do @ their houses?
