Over the years we've gotten more and more technological advances, we have automated more and more labor yet the amount of labor we have to put in increases which makes me wonder, where is all that output going as I'm pretty sure it doesn't go into our pockets or our governments. For years I haven't noticed and even burned-out few times as I'm very passionate about this field and STEM in general but count me out from this, my resolution for the next 3 years is self-sustenance, self-sufficiency and gig work from time to time to pay for things like internet and other raw materials.
What do you mean where does it all go? Isn't it obvious? We are living in a second gilded age. How else would 1 man have a third of a trillion dollars?
Pips rise and software quality stays the same or gets worse. High performers get to delude themselves into thinking they have impact.
