I've been a professional C, Perl, PHP and Python developer.
I'm an ex-sysadmin from the late 20th century.
These days I do more Javascript and CSS and whatnot, and promote UX and accessibility.
I think it's unfair to people who have jobs that can't be split that way, but that just because it's not fair doesn't mean it's not a step in the right direction towards fair.
The corny old science-fiction utopia that we see in things like Star Trek (explicitly laid out in this week's Orville) is a post-scarcity society where nobody has to work. Where "work" is something you elect to do for other reasons like personal satisfaction or reputation.
I see a common complaint amongst retirees is that they have nothing to do. They've spent their lives working 40-60 hours per week and suddenly they're stuck at home, bored with everything they try.
I'd prefer to live without work, my every need provided for by technology and nature. We're not there yet, and won't be in my lifetime, but society exists to let people exist together without hurting each other, and civilisation is supposed to be the way this cooperation pushes that forwards towards utopia.

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
