@arclight@oldbytes.space Coding, having been stolen from women ("calculator", as a thing you got paid to do) had a couple generations of being a semi-elite specialty; the gold rush meant you could make a lot of money at it. After the gold rush, it's like being a plumber. The result has to work, you can make decent money, and most people both wouldn't want to and ought not, because it does take a certain specific view of the trade to be effective. The social change isn't free from stress. @meena@cathode.church @badger@mastodon.social
