Fighting to keep the world complicated and inefficient, so that you can keep the same job forever and never have to learn anything new, is not looked upon favorably by history: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luddite

When we automate the boring stuff, we are free to work on harder and more important problems. This is the arc of progress, and it's in the interest of the greater good.

That wasn't the case with Luddites. They were fighting against the transition to unskilled labor but even more so against worse working conditions and pay. When technological progress makes it more efficient to exploit people, there is a problem, and more efficient production does not make that go away or balance it out.

Well, I didn't say to keep the world complicated and inefficient, I just thought it was funny to write a thank you to devs for saving their company when by some considerations their company could potentially hurt the employability of certain devs. But yeah, I am not trying to be a luddite, (not that I care about how history would judge me)
