If you think you are a salve then you clearly haven't experienced real slavery. Having a job that sucks with a demanding job and boring project does not equal slavery. You are free to quit, you are free to start a company you are free to learn more to upgrade your career.

UBI won't change much for people who already have a job they love. It's designed for people who need to close a gap between gaining knowledge and employments; coping with stress to not finding suitable jobs. I'd love to see it happen but I don't see the use to over-dramatize the misery of developers.

Any one who is not financially independent is a modern slave.

No. You can do anything or remain idle. That UBI.
