@hipsterelectron It *is* about automation and labor, in a way: there's never enough automation to make one entirely confident in pushing changes without running the risk of having to supply free labor that eats into the hard-won weekend
@delta_vee yeah the weekend work is another reason i think i last saw this raised on twitter by a CEO of a startup
@hipsterelectron This seems like one of those things that is just... deeply out of my scope, bc I've never really been a "Real Job"/"Career" sort of squirrel.
(In quotes because I am using those terms very sarcastically.)
@miss_rodent i only realized how deeply corporate it was just now bc i am deeply into empowering automation but i have been tricked into doing corporate dirty work before
@hipsterelectron Fair. I am... skeptical of automation, by default.
Not that it is inherently bad/evil, but, since the industrial revolution, automation has routinely been used as a weapon against the working class.
And in the digital era, the convenience of automation has similarly been weaponized in various ways.
Often, even when it is well-intentioned, or seems so at a glance.
But it's not all bad, just important that who it empowers, how, and it's capacity to disempower, are managed.
@hipsterelectron I always thought it would make a great strike action - push, go home, claim to be online trying to fix it, charge overtime if possible, don't fix it.
