So race to the bottom where you work more and make less per unit of work? Great deal, splendid idea.

The only winners here are CEOs/founders who make obscene money, liquidate/retire early while suckers are on the infinite treadmill justifying their existence.

You're describing all technological advances.

I can harvest crops by hand, but a machine can do it 100x faster. I'm not paid 100x though so it's a bad deal - destroy the machines.

The real advantage now that code is cheaper to write is who can imagine the best product.

I'm happy to compete at that level.

Thank you for proving the point for me. Productivity goes up, 70% of people are fired and salary barely grows up. Amazing deal.

I’d probably be as happy as you, if I had such big ego.
