Yeah and this is what makes my worldview bleak atm. We as developers got these cool new tools which enable us to do our job 80% faster, but the end result wasn't less work. It was massive layoffs and making the rest of us work even harder to be "at the top".

When I was young there were already ideas about 4 day work weeks, it's now been 20 years later and so many things are automated, where are the shorter work weeks? I thought the point as a society was to not work ourselves off and actually enjoy day to day life while automation handles the boring part.
