I found this thought funny. A few years ago everyone was all learn to code so you don’t lose your job! Now there wont be any programming jobs in 10 years. But we will need a lot of manual labor still.

    As soon as I graduated, ‘too many people are fighting for IT jobs, depressing salaries, meanwhile we’re paying plumbers $100/hour.’

    That was 2001. Almost 25 years later, I recently paid a plumber $300/hour.

      You paid the plumbing company $300/hour. The plumber would be lucky to make $30 of that.
