These are Dockworkers.
The people whose exclusive skill was previously throwing a football, and when they couldn't make D1, pushing a crane lever.
They had their time in the sun, racking up social status points while ostracizing, and sneering at, the people who would ultimately build the systems to replace them.
The absolute uselessness of former jocks in the face of their replacements is not something anyone, especially on HN, should shed a single tear for. If you're old enough, you'll remember how these people treated you. If a robot can do their job better, so be it.
Some of us will NEVER forget the true character of these people, and we look forward to their misery.
