Yeah. I just wrote 600 lines of SQL using a macro processor. Took 10 minutes.

I think the problem starts when you have no real life community. You are prey to the algorithms with nothing to balance them out. You may be ok, but I know a few people who have been possessed by the algorithms and influencers. They have on

Second that. I have been in the industry for 37 years. The Taylorism didn't exist until "Agile" came along around the year 2000. Every programmer was a craftsman before that. These days, I wouldn't take (or get)a job in
