      Imagine being born 10,000 years ago where all your work for sustenance would fit in 4 hours weekly...

        I've been a software developer for the better part of 20 years and I'm so fed up with this whole situation. Time for a new career.

        Same. I'm hoping for the teacher shortage to increase, I might make the switch if the barriers come down. I'd love to teach children to code, I have fond memories of my IT teacher back in the day. His lessons on TurboPascal taught me a lot.

            My CV looks something like:

            • Jr Support agent > Sr Support agent > Lead Support agent
            • Tech engineer
            • DevOps engineer
            • DevOps lead
            • Sysadmin > Sr SA > lead SA
            • Technical Architect> Solution Architect > Sr Arch > Enterprise Arch
            • Director of IT
            • Raising chickens

            Chickens might shit everywhere, scream constantly, and flap their wings just to get attention, much like managers. But they can't make you polish that shit into a product to sell. And if one gets out of line you can just eat them.

              They're not trying to get attention. They're trying to express their natural instinctive behaviours, and are being prevented by your violence and cruelty.

                Yes! Your deeply intellectual take based on my comparison of chickens shitting and screaming to how IT managers act is surely correct about how I live my life, and how those chickens live.

                Fun fact - Our chickens live freely in the forest during the day, and have a nice safe place to sleep at night. We don't force them to come home, but they know what lives out in the forest and choose to come back to where they are safe and have friends.

                Oh and we don't eat them. But if you wanna call pulling their non-viable eggs out from wherever they left them today violence then I have a few bridges to sell you in manhattan.

                  You're such a heartless bastard, depriving those poor foxes in the forest of their food, by sheltering it.

                    Finally, some criticism that makes sense! I will be sure to start feeding the foxes too. We already feed the birds, squirrels, chipmunks, marmots, bunnies, raccoons, stray cats, fish, black flies, and mosquitoes (with varying levels of 'on purpose').

                    What is one more species?

                    Seriously - This cruel bastard spends $500(cad) per month on feeding wildlife in the winter. What a piece of shit. And those raccoon houses we built so they'd be happy further from the house and stop tearing up our insulation? TORTURE FACILITIES filled with soft straw, eggs, fruit, and cat food.

                      Look how hard you work to justify your exploitation and violence to yourself. You know you aren't going to convince me, this is all about bulwarking your own views.

                        Nice try, troll. I'm posting here for the real humans. Not to convince you of anything.

                        edit to add: only one of us came into a thread espousing their views without being prompted. Maybe work on that before accusing others.

                          No one, 10000 years ago, was only "working" 4 hours a day. This is garbage.

                          For most humans the fight for survival it was constant and grueling and frequently unsuccessful.. Shelter was hardly a thing. You most likely died by your 30s. Etc.

                            It was in between the two extremes. It was like four hours a day on average of active hunting/gathering for some members of a group, others spent like 4 hours a day cooking/making clothes/building shelter. They had extended periods where they were sheltered from the weather, celebrating holidays, etc.

                            Hell, most animals only spend a limited number of hours per day actively surviving and have a significant amount of time resting or sheltering from weather.

                            And life expectancy was skewed by infant deaths. Sure, injury and death weren't uncommon in their 30s but that is when humans are at their peak physical condition and most people who survived childhood made it to their 50s even if they had some lifelong injuries.
