> Developer Advocate, Figma
If this person wants to advocate for developers they should stop giving their labor to an organization that wants to replace us all with robots.
- Larrikin 2y agoIs it possible to be a developer without doing some form of that?

- janice1999 2y agoIf a mill worker encouraged fellow labourers to work for free for the factory owner who was actively replacing them with machines and a handful of low skilled, powerless and badly paid workers, that worker would be considered insane.

- bilbo0s 2y agoSelf awareness is a virtue. A super majority of developers are engaged in labor meant to replace non-developers with robots. We shouldn't really complain when the reaper comes for us.
- keybored 2y agoFamously: first they came for X... and then when they came for me I didn’t complain because that would be cringe and hypocritical.
- fifilura 2y agoWhat is your proposed remedy?
- keybored 2y agoSocialism.
- fifilura 2y agoExemplify?
- keybored 2y agoA single transitive verb is not a statement. Automating jobs is only a problem under capitalism because a minority owns the means of production.
- fifilura 2y agoA single verb, while technically not a complete sentence, can be made into a question by adding a question mark. And it was intended as a rhetorical response to your single word statement. Anyway. Socialism has failed in many/most places mostly because of power, corruption and lies. What makes you believe your version will succeed?
- keybored 2y ago> A single verb, while technically not a complete sentence, can be made into a question by adding a question mark. A transitive verb requires a direct object. > And it was intended as a rhetorical response to your single word statement. It’s a perfectly well-formed, complete answer. The haters know what it means, the lovers know what it means. Everybody else can use Google. People who then ask for a completely general followup (at least as it pertains to this subtopic) instead of a more specialized question most likely aren’t really wondering but just want to fire back with their talking points. > Anyway. Socialism has failed in many/most places mostly because of power, corruption and lies. The power of whom? Maybe the US? That invaded Vietnam, that split up Korea and bombed North Korea, that tried to do a coup in Cuba, that intervened in the political process maybe 40 times in Latin America. Yeah, the power of capitalist imperialism is a huge problem for socialism. Maybe unsurmountable.

- kokanee 2y agoComing from Figma this article feels like a poorly veiled plea for customers, disguised as thought leadership.
