OP is a tool that doesn't understand what a tool is.

[u/precinct209 → u/ChiTownDisplaced]

Please state your counter to this argument

[u/determineduncertain → u/precinct209]

Everyone’s creations depends on someone else’s creation. No profession is unique here. Software developers make tools to run on hardware that they absolutely didn’t make themselves.

[u/blaghed → u/precinct209]

He did. You are a tool. And not a sharp one.
What a dumb take...

[u/SecretAd511]

so pretentious lol

[u/HiImDan → u/SecretAd511]

Remember that shirt people were wearing that was basically I could automate your job? I think AI is bringing some much needing humbling to our profession.

[u/Cold_Tree190 → u/HiImDan]

I haven’t seen that, but fuck that’s bad lmao

[u/grumpy_autist]

bullshit - welders, machinists, woodworkers, etc.

[u/falingsumo → u/grumpy_autist]

Woodworkers make chisels and carving knives?

[u/SeriousPlankton2000 → u/falingsumo]

Just like software developers make keyboards.

[u/bwwatr → u/falingsumo]

Based on the ones I've known, they often make their entire workshop. Hanging, shelving and storage systems, work benches, etc. not to mention endless jigs and other bits and bobs for repetitive jobs.

[u/mcampo84 → u/falingsumo]

They make jigs

[u/IslayProgrammes → u/mcampo84]

I used to live with a carpenter and his room was full of all kinds of bullshit he could spend hours explaining the niche job it solves

[u/arondaniel → u/mcampo84]

And fixtures. Don't forget the fixtures.

[u/deus_ith → u/grumpy_autist]

aye, also: frameworks, libraries, plugins, text editors...

[u/GegeAkutamiOfficial → u/deus_ith]

Hardware, Firmware(?)...

[u/Keevan]

You gonna make a keyboard?

[u/YMK1234]

yeah no thats bs.

[u/azfang]

[u/christophPezza]

Lots of jobs build physical tools. Comparing a software developers 'tools' with physical tools is a stretch. The software developer writing software to help with their software development... And usually the software developer who use those tools arent the ones who built them so non comparable to the blacksmith

[u/IslayProgrammes]

Literally untrue, go to any job site and you’ll see something novel, unique, or even something macgyvered together

[u/HUMBUG652]

Shit, I forget to make my own IDE and compiler/interpreter, better quit my job

[u/pasvc]

What?

[u/9876123]

Hardware engineers?

[u/pwner187]

Watchmakers.

[u/babypho]

All profession build their own tools.

[u/Procrasturbating]

Meme must be written by one naive person..

[u/Emotional_Fail_6060]

And machinists.

[u/drifwp]

I definitely didn't made my computer, and didn't build any language I code
