I think the other piece of this that comes to mind for me is that, by and large, software developers as a culture lack class consciousness.

If you're pulling down a mid six-figure tech salary, you're rich *and* you have more in common with someone in homelessness levels of crushing poverty than you do Jeff Bezos. You're the kind of rich that can own a house, not the kind that national governments consider to be too big to fail.

I think it's interesting how software engineers are (among?) the most eager working class group to replace themselves with LLMs. It's interesting because LLMs do a worse job than us, we lose ability/skill to do our job the more we use it, lose our jobs, produce worse software, are less satisfied with our work, etc. Yet so many of my peers seem to be super excited about and advocate for it, while other working class groups at least detest LLMs if not even consider organising themselves to protect their trade/jobs from LLMs. Are we becoming the cops (read as: class traitors) of this techno-fascist dystopia?
