> Whether you are picking fruit, flipping burgers or building tech

The thing is that the first two of those were always commodity jobs. "Building tech" was a specialization that until recently was not commoditized. And there are still niches where that's not true.

This hasn't only happened in software, of course. Look at medicine. It would be gut-wrenching to have spent a lifetime gaining specialized deep knowledge in healing people only to realize it's treated more and more like complicated burger-flipping now. And under constant threat of lawsuits, unlike most burger-flippers.
