I know the leftist in me is supposed to have sympathy for these people and get them to unionize. But only after I stop laughing and enjoying this moment. For years these fucks told the rest of us to “learn to code” and pretended like studying anything else at uni was a fucking waste of time.

GUESS WHAT FUCKERS. SO WAS CODING. Looks like we’ll be baristas together, only I’ll have three years of experience!!!

    I still think we should learn to code just cuz its a genuinely useful skill and we shouldn’t let giant corporations determine what software we use

      That applies to all skills, but unfortunately there are so many hours in a day dor us to learn skills. Somee of us can code, some can bake. Some are excellent woodworkers, and others have a knack for gardeneing/farming. All skills are valid and needed in society. What we REALLY need to do is meet up with various people with various skill sets and form co-ops/communes to ensure everyone has everything they need.

          It’s good to know, but I honestly can count on one hand the amount of times I’ve used my coding skills to automate something I needed to do outside of my projects/work/gaming. It’s pretty low down my list of practical skills, just based on personal experience.
