Not the poster, but IMO we are craftspeople being made to work like assembly line workers.

I would argue that assembly line workers were once craftspeople.

Craftsmanship still exists, but it’s specialized and focused on products that can demand the higher price.

Is this not the same with software?

CRUD work is almost infinite and demands higher output at the expense of quality.

Contrast that with unique OSS projects, and defining product features.
