Ask HN: Is it just me or do 99% of SWE jobs offers seem completely pointless?

Apparently so! Maybe it's the desire to stick with a profession you hate in practice is caused by some kind of disease.
There is no evidence they have such a desire. In fact the opposite is true. Why you want to find disease here is unclear.
There is evidence, they literally said they feel unable to work at 99% of the jobs in the field they’re attempting to participate in.
The continued attempt (this post) does not align with the inability to perform the job in nearly any capacity.

You are misrepresenting the OP.
They clearly distinguish between great jobs and not great jobs.
They ask for advice on either finding great jobs, or tolerating not great jobs.
This is quite obviously not the behavior of someone who is continuing to do something they hate. They are asking how to find a job they don’t hate, or how to not hate a job they find. This is the opposite of what you are claiming them to be doing.
If they can’t find a way to do either of these two things and they keep working in the field, then you might have a point. But right now they are asking the obvious and sensible questions that a healthy person experiencing dissatisfaction with their career should ask.
Your attempt to portray them as diseased still makes no sense.

What exactly are the means in production in software companies though? The code bases and the patents?
This shouldn't be a hard question for you to answer for yourself. What do software companies produce? Software. What's used to produce that software? That's your means of productions: IP, desks, chairs, laptops, routers, development software, etc.
Everything on this list but IP is entirely inconsequential. The primary means of production are the workers' brains, which they already own. This shows how the XIX century Marxist thinking is completely outdated in XXI century.
