     @kaia They do, but I'd rather actually talk to people in daylight

     Software will never not be elite.

     Very few people appreciate the effects of something like the LUG thriving, and disappearing.
     
     The LUGs left a humongous gap in between user space and below, which is traditionally the infrastructure.
     
     I understand that Web3 is slowly diminishing these layers, but still - something like the LUG could help evolving it instead of retarding the user more and more, and separating the "elites" from the users of their creations.
     
     Mobile killed the LUG, and made the whole industry so much more retard.

     it's even worse:
     mobile use, especially apps like TikTok, is harmful to development of prefrontal cortex, the "directed attention" faculty. young users' short time memory, drive to explore/tinker decreases. they are giving themselves ADHD.

     A while back a hotshot new manufacturing engineer created a clusterfuck of mangled IDs by using the row sequence of a spreadsheet as a UID.
     
     I asked them if differentiating a SQL database from a spreadsheet was part of any of his training.
     
     Because this is something you can self-train, all the spreadsheet and database skills, everything you can name, is trivial. No need to go to college for that.
     
     Kids should not get a HS "diploma" without mastering basic arithmetic with spreadsheet and SQL scripting.
     
     But with the LUG self-training also started to disappear.

     I don't want to be too dystopic, but I think we maneuver ourselves into a corner where only AI can understand the technical aspects of computer architecture and code. we will rely on AI to do all the coding for us. AI that in turn is controlled by companies like Google, Microsoft or Amazon.
