There's nothing kind about letting good people live in a fantasy world that no longer exists. You have to tell them, even if it hurts. Because the sooner they accept reality, the sooner they can adapt to the future.

@dhh @unclebobmartin My suspicion is that this is going to be an incredibly painful transition for many. Gone are the days of abundant jobs for reclusive code-monkeys.

You can no longer expect to be handed a problem to solve. Problems must be sought out & unearthed by *gasp* talking to people.

@trackmatte @dhh @unclebobmartin Fully agree, but humans will have to branch out when they hit the bespoke problem of "I need someone to pay me to solve their bespoke problems so I can make rent".
