Industrial workers in the 20th century probably never imagined being replaced by robots, but it’s happened on a large scale.
There's still plenty of industrial workers. The same will be true for programmers as AI proliferates.
These jobs don't go away, they just become more specialized
But I will agree with the general notion that we as programmers are incredible fortunate to be able to work from anywhere, creatively, without physical labor
creatively
Git clone
Ctrl+c
Ctrl+v
At this very moment, I'm at home, waiting for a pipeline to finish, after I copied some code from another of our team's projects and edited it a bit.
The pipeline config file was also, ofc, copied from another of our projects and had some file paths inside changed.

Sounds like a great DRY culture to me
Copying code is exactly the opposite of DRY lol
