"Let them eat cake ?"

“Why doesn’t he learn to code?”

But he really doesn’t have to work there. He lives with his parents and doesn’t spend any of the money he earns anyway.

You all really need to learn to read the article before spewing your shite eveywhere, there is literally an entire paragraph dedicated to why.

I read the article, he’s claiming he’s stuck because he won’t get JSA if he leaves. But he has no outgoings, no costs or anything. He’s saving 1k every month! So he can quit anytime he likes, and do anything he wants

If he can't find a new job now, why would you think he's going to find one if he quits? The smart approach is to look for a new job while working at your current one. And he can't find one!

Otherwise, he'll end up spending those savings just living and looking for a job, and the government won't pay him any benefits because he quit of his own volition.

Now sure, he can learn a new trade in his free time, but the reality is that most people don't realize that's an option (they think they need to get a few years of college or something), can't learn anything useful, or they're too tired to do anything after a hard day at work.
