The urge to be alienated from your own craft (he had a tehcnical background at some point) and then justify it because you "dont have time" to code anymore (gee whizz maybe pick a different job dipass) is infuriating.

He's just typing in a request and the code changes before his eyes -- he isnt doing any fucking coding!!! He's using a chatbox to request an entity changes the code!!! we already do that dorkshit!!! and we hallucinate bullshit too!!!

Look I know that capitalists will always align to automation over workers, but this isn't that. This is a man who is genuinely convinced he is an active participant in the programming process despite occupying a role no different to the one he does already, only with faster results in the specific demos he creates.

Capitalism has turned its central contradiction -- alienation, into a fucking product that people want.

Like engineer engineer? Or software “engineer “?

Honestly both. Though there is something about coding that seems to attract or create a specific sense of superiority. Unless you're talking about train engineers, the few I've met have been really cool. This is all based purely on my experience but I've worked in engineering all of my adult life.

software engineers are insufferable for the most part though
