MODERATORS
I really wish I was joking but they simply fail to grasp the size of the project. All they see is this pretty animated UI, barely held together by "make it work" prompts. So AI still is like a magic wand fixing everything. Did I mention nobody involved in that decision has any relevant background?
That's why this post resonates so hard. Time to check how much is left on the mortgage.
You have all my sympathies. Someone in another post/thread brought up the idea of a support group for burned out devs/tech workers in general. I definitely think there's something between that and unionization that is both needed and starting to be possible. Heck, even in the hackernews comments for this article there was at least one person telling another "welcome to luddism!" as both resonated with the spirit of the article itself.
