Different methodology; same goals. The reduction of the Art of Programming to a paint-by-numbers process with interchangeable machine parts. (Programmers)

No stars; commoditised salaries; zero-hours contracts. An out-sourceable resource, purchased on a world-wide spot market at the cheapest price.

Management has been falling for the hype for decades; and each new generation of programmers are all too ready to sign up with relish.

It may be your tomorrow; but its not mine. I did my time. Good luck.
