Yeah. Mans was exempt from the orphan crushing machine so he thought it wasn’t real.

It is. It’s coming for all of us unless we do something to stop it.

I honestly don’t even think it’s all that relevant if his skills aren’t super pro-level or he’s looking in the wrong market. Yes, it is true that a lot of people who just had the ability to put together a functional web UI or run SQL commands have been able to command six figure salaries for a while. That is fine. We have technology enough at this point that we can support everyone in comfortable life, as long as they’re willing to show up and do a full-time job. We broke the whole economy to where it turns into this special thing if you want a house, vacations, not want to have to worry. Like you have to be some kind of Good Will Hunting person to expect that. Fuck that. This guy should still get $150k. Everyone who works full time and has some training should make $125k a year and the shareholders should get less. Picking on this guy’s supposed lack of pro-talent misses the point, I think.

We don’t have a shortage of problems to solve. The planet is burning and all our tech is murdering our brains. If we could somehow get the people who want a full-time job and don’t have one to start making money by working on those things 40 hours a week I feel like those things would be in better shape.
