- toomuchtodo 13y agoIsn't that what we preach here as automation puts half the US workforce out of business? Oh, what's that? I'm a Javascript engineer making $100K+/year? It doesn't last forever (i.e 98-01 tech boom, the sands move quickly underneath us). The future is going to be not only disruptive, but destructive, to industries and people alike. How we turn out as a society will be determined by the policies we develop around handling this turbulent time in human history.
