It’s not interesting, there’s no puzzles involved… It’s basically data entry

So? Show me an industry that's 100% interesting all the time. Artists still have to stretch and gesso their canvases. Rock stars still have to deal with band drama and touring logistics. Directors have to work their budgets and wrangle big egos. Why should software, which is basically using fancy math to tell the dumbest guy in the room exactly what to do, be any different?

There's this awful idea that everything should be fun and nobody should struggle with anything or be forced to do anything menial. We want to be instant experts without going through the boring or hard stuff. And we're willing to offload more and more of this onto proprietary black boxes in exchange for... what?
