>most of us would delegate our work code to somebody else or something else if we could.

Laughably narrow-minded projection of your own perspective on others.

We all delegate. Did you knit your own clothes or is that too boring for you?

Enjoying to code/knit is fine but we can no longer expect to get paid well to do it.

  • Each activity we engage in has different use, value, and subjective enjoyment to different people. Some people love knitting! Personally, I do know how to sew small tears, which is more than most people in the US these days.

    Just because I utilize the services of others for some things does not mean that it should be expected I want to utilize the service of others for all things.

    This is a preposterous generalization and exactly why I said the OP premise is laughable.

    Further, you’ve shifted OP’s point from subjective enjoyment of an activity to getting “paid well” - this is an irrelevant tangent to whether “most” people in general would delegate work if they could.
