Kinda hate the idea that all tech development is "progress", particularly with AI stuff. Sometimes tech makes life worse, and it's not "being a luddite" to believe that.

@Ciaraioch Software engineers have a not-actually-a-joke: "How do you get started in woodwork? Spend ten years as a software engineer then give in to the overwhelming urge to quit the world and go live in the woods".

Seeing how the sausage is made is a remarkably effective cure for thinking "new" always means "improved"

A distant relative of me worked in a cookie factory. He never eat cookies after that.

I am a software engineer working always on Windows. At home I use Ubuntu. Causality.
