- marssaxman 1y agoWe've been automating ourselves out of our jobs as long as we've had them; somehow, despite it all, we never run out of work to do.
- kibibu 1y agoWe've automated bullshit tedium work, like building and deploying, but this is the first time in my memory that people are actively trying to automate all the fun parts away. Closest parallel I can think of is the code-generation-from-UML era, but that explicitly kept the design decisions on the human side, and never really took over the world.
