I’m talking about problems a lot more broad than music, hobby artists are a completely different entity than commercial artists and conflating them is targeted willful ignorance. A…

I get it, but the anguish of people who were paid dramatically less and treated dramatically worse than software developers whose livelihoods are being deliberately harpooned by th…

I’ll get right on that

You don’t understand how the ‘bonkers’ cost of creative worker relates to businesses that make creative products?

Sorry no. Here on HN, your having a vested interest in some market makes your opinion entirely invalid. That is, enless you're interested in one of the correct markets such as soft…

That's why corporations that have made creative products have traditionally never gone anywhere. They all just went out of business. And all the artists got rich.

Yeah-- in a professional workflow, at best, these tools are for getting ideas rather than creating output that will be used directly. Lots of folks use them for actual creation bec…

It's incredibly elitist to gatekeep people having their plans, actions, opinions, and philosophical ideas taken seriously just because they haven't trudged through the onerous proc…

If you’re going to post albums of high-res photographs on the internet… why not Flickr?

That’s right. Things are changing and it’s going to be a really tough pill to swallow for a lot of people that only think they understand what work looks like for nearly everyone e…

Ask the nurses how much they got for severance when steward health closed. Or what my severance was when I got laid off in 2009 working as a fine dining line cook as a culinary sch…

Well, we could ‘maybe’ ourselves to a lot of admirable explanations but lacking specific evidence that any of them are true, Occam’s Razor is the most reasonable way to evaluate th…

Right right. I imagine it was much the same for mechanical engineers during the Industrial Revolution.

Right. There’s obviously a totally valid market-based reason for it, and I am absolutely not implying that developers should receive less of that than they do. However, its an exte…

As someone in the US that’s bounced in and out of tech, including some longish stints in blue collar jobs, it honestly blows my mind that the tech scene is so all-encompassing that…

I’m not saying you’re wrong because I have no idea how to rigorously evaluate the merit of your financial advice. That’s why I have a financial planner instead of going by the most…
