I know the HN hivemind just updoots whatever tickles the hive-fancy for the day, but in my current day, it's hard to see this trending on HN and think anything other than software engineering as an industry has simply given up, and is just becoming things like breadmakers now. Farming, pottery, basketweaving are probably also decent career segues.

I literally got so fed up with trying to debug another team's service that I stood up to quell my frustration by eating, like most people do. In my attempt to procure a sandwich, the POS terminal — which has only a hole for chip and pin cards — asked me to swipe the magstripe on my card.

Since I can't even buy a sandwich, I suppose this guide will come in handy for the bread.
