i haven't seen it (only read the book) but i wonder if you possibly misread the scene...? switching from creative (and writing code is creative, you have all kinds of options and styles to do it) to "fixing a mechanism" is a downgrade. sounds like satire.

There was a scene at the end of Burton's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory where the guy whose job was replaced by a robot got a new job fixing the robot. But if only it could work out like that for everyone...

if i saw my old system dying i would probably do a small amount of work to keep it alive, for free. because i made it with love (unlike every web designer who writes "with HEART-SYMBOL"). i am a shit coder compared to most of you too. but i respect what i

mirrorbird (22:07:41)
i do not hang around demo people (except this oneliner!) so i mostly see it in the jobless "entrepreneur" type who think they are hot shit if they can generate code without coding. there's no love, skill, ownership, just "MAKE DOLLARS".
