The same thing that happened to American manufacturing workers.
What did happen to them. Saw a pbs documentary on blue collar workers but that was years ago, did they learn to code or become plumbers ? From the country of CA (california) so its harder to see the effects of globalism.
The only reason Chinese manufacturing is largely still manual is cost.
People are cheaper than machines and possibly more importantly easier to replace when they break.
I worked for a company that dabbled in having some things manufactured in China, and pretty much the goal for doing cheap was finding ways to have people do it rather than machines.
Itâs partly why QC becomes such an important part of the process to do it right.
Programming is a useful skill, Iâve been doing it for 40 years, and Iâve been lucky enough that people generally pay me to solve hard problems. Being able to write a few thousand lines of code really isnât the hard part.
I fundamentaly disagree as someone who makes over 25% of my annual income doing cabinetry. I watched your video and it misses the point I am making. I dont mean everyone should be a skilled coder or that it will even be used in more than 10% of peoples daily lives. What I mean is that coding, in the modern era, should be considered part of a well rounded base education in the same way low level calculus, philosophy, earth sciences, and literature are.
Coding teaches logical thought progression far more than anything else. Such thought style is extremely helpful in any form of solution design and even in daily life. Things we talk about as being âenginerringâ or âscientific processâ such as variable mitigation are now far simpler to tech in terms of coding than as more abstract math concepts.

I fully agree with this. Coding teaches pattern recognition and logic. Both critical to problem solving of any kind (something thatâs sorely needed but lacking - just look at the world we live in).

- Fakeing it is fine (as long as the patcher works)
- QC is optional
- It is always someone elses problem
As a CS student, that is exactly what classes teach.
It is all about showing results, not actually having results (except for 2 classes that were very low level).
No. Thats what a job in coding teches, not what classes do.
Just like a job in any form of engr (and also coding) teaches you it doesnt matter how objectively shit, broken, or flawed your product is so long as the customer is happy with it and the pricing (which shockingly sometimes means you need to spend less efficiently so they feel the product is âqualityâ)
Thatâs the case with any school subject and any job performance review. Letâs just close down the schools and shut down the economy so we can avoid the above?
Extremes are used to make a point.

Then, honestly, they are doing a better job of preparing you for what is expected in the workforce than my education did. Everything is fairly results based realistically. I will say though, donât think you can bullshit through it if you have a manager from the same field you are working in. They can see right through your bulshit and recognize what actually is an accomplishment and what is not (and the good ones will be plenty forgiving of slow accomplishments if you have reasonable roadblocks).
Over all, yes, you are right that such reality of the workforce sucks and is inefficient, but you also know full well I wasnt talking about uni level teaching. I was/am talking about lower education coding. In the same way that uni math teaches you the answer literally doesnât matter (the solution/method/justification is what matters), the point of lower education math up to calc or so is to teach you how to be methodical and approach problems. Its the exact same skill set used in basically every other form of problem solving be it interpersonal, research based, or even in many forms of art creation, math just gives children one more field to hopefully let the logic path click with them, and that is exactly what coding will do as well as even shop classes.
This.
Apparently automation will be taking over dancing jobs as well

Someone spent far too much time making this happen and Iâm so glad they did. That was genuinely impressive.
