do you think they ever realized what they actually were doing, in the name of progress?
automating out all the slack, the unrecognized value
the places to decompress and bond and think
when it was possible for creative teams to play games at work
and be more productive for it
because the code was compiling
or you were waiting on the other team
or andy from sales never got back to you (lie)
instead we've replaced everything, especially industrial labor, with mind numbing repetitive motions you can't lose focus on or the heavy machinery will maim you
but also especially in tech
