> Turning developers into production line workers is precisely what needs to happen
I actually agree with this sentiment, although many others to hate on you on this thread.
And it will happen, just like what happened to labor workers who used to make a good living working for Ford at production line. You can already see plenty of evidence when you see how all developers are forced to use package managers and follow "coding guidelines", and so forth. These efforts will all lead to a more and more structured way of building things, which then can be replaced by machines.
And these naive and passive programmers who thought they were set for life by taking a coding bootcamp and getting a programming job will suddenly find that it's not as lucrative anymore.
The point I was trying to make was: Don't be these people who live a passive life and do what others say, thinking just because programmers make a lot of money, all you gotta do is "become a good programmer" and you'll be set for life. You should have a meaning in life. Otherwise you'll find yourself in the similar situation as these Ford production line workers.
