> Lacking in empathy could also be said of the software devs who think that software devs are a significant customer group in the economy, when they are a tiny percentage of the work force. This is silly equivocation. I'm telling you that your statement lacks empathy, and you're making vague, unclear gestures to an entire field. Anyway, reading your post it's clear that you have a rather pathetic grudge because software devs weren't interesting in working with you and now you get to grin gleefully as you see AI take away jobs. You obviously have zero insight into software development as a practice, nor how software devs think - this is glaringly obvious by your detraction that software devs give software away for free as somehow snobbery because they wouldn't work on whatever project you clearly hold a grudge over. Further, your comments from start to finish demonstrate a complete lack of understanding of what the job actually entails. > BTW, you are hearing a lot more hostility in my comments than is actually there. Maybe so! I can't tell you what you actually think, but it comes off as really pathetic, so maybe reread your post and consider why I'm hearing it. Best of luck in your ventures.

You aren't thinking clearly enough to understand what I'm saying, becuase you can't let go of my perhaps harsh comment. But come on, people here are saying "who is going to buy products if we don't have jobs", as if they never gave a thought to other people who had their jobs automated away. That's a lack of empathy. In many cases software is exactly what took away other people's jobs. Secretary used to be a common job, as well as "computer", which was a human making calculations. But since you are a hacker and have to be always right, you have just descended into personal attacks now.
