Kait Richardson 🏳️‍⚧️🥔: Then they’ll have relatively uncommon but ridiculously high-paying jobs available

we need to stop making computers more powerful they're as powerful as they need to fucking be. graphics don't need to get better at this point and GPUs shouldn't be used for ai or farming. we need to focus on making the tech we currently have consume less power.

Devs should only be allowed to work on computers with specs 20 years behind the current specs, for a probationary period of like their first 10 years in the field.

All coding should target DOSBox

And your first language should be C

No one should use C. But if your code only works in Silicon Valley and not on the potatoes normal people use, you should then be punished with C.

If you do it again you have to learn COBOL

Then they’ll have relatively uncommon but ridiculously high-paying jobs available

Weren't we running out of people that knew COBOL but a ton of banks' back-end stuff still runs on it or somesuch? I vaguely remember hearing smth like that

Exactly
