I've wasted a lot of time and energy on stuff that doesn't matter, so I can hardly judge anyone else on what they focus on, but man does it feel bad to have community leaders actively focus on building out tooling that is anti-worker. I think the only way I'd feel more conflicted is if Fly.io started building weapons systems for the military. I guess that wouldn't be shocking considering some of their lead's beliefs.

You can think of it as just automating the boring tedious stuff so us humans can focus on the harder problems like strategy, direction, design, GTM, etc.

The days are numbered where humans are sitting typing out code themselves.

It's akin to the numbered days of type writer secretaries of the 20th century.

I know what stories workers in the industry are using to cope with working with capitalists that have explicit goals of eliminating workers.

I'm sure your poor understanding of the history of improved tooling, like "type writer secretaries", will be a soft comfort in the future.

And you don't think capitalism is the reason we have these computer jobs to automate away in the first place?

No, because I’ve read a history book.
