Re: No Work? Make Work!

I was reading about programmers working 60 hours
a week or more, start up companies with kids (young programmers),
programmers working crazy hours, the weekend and such. Are they crazy or
what ? Are they completely out of their minds or what ? do they
actually even know what on earth they are doing ? I find that
incredible, unbelievable that there are so many "smart programmers"
apparently that just waste hours on end on programming code, something
that has absolutely no relationship at all with the "amount of time
doing it", no relationship at all "with effort put in" and such.
Programming seriously simply means finding the right algorithm, the
right description to solve a generalized problem, just like mathematics,
it is simply an intellectual endeavor and has absolutely nothing at all
to do with the absurd concepts of "hard work" and "long working hours"
and all such BS of making believe that you are working hard and putting
in so much effort for something that has no relationship at all with
this aesthetics of "hard work" of "long hours", the great show and
showoffs of "working hard" (comic book stuff!), all of this insanity as
if the programmers are third world farmers that have to put in
"sacrifice" and "long hours" and "pressure" to "produce" and such.
But there is a reason for all of this: the less real work that is necessary for a society to operate and produce what it really needs, the more fake work is produced, the more fake work (pretending that it is necessary and real like all of the emergencies companies constantly have, the job must be done by tomorrow and such huge BS) is multiplied, the more problems are created, manufactured, fabricated by corporations and bosses and a whole host of idiotic stone age assholes that have to do everything possible to make the programmers work badly, to burn them out, to fool them, in short to kill all the real huge productivity programming and computers and smart programmers could really have on an advanced Technological Economy. So you have absurd deadlines, specifications that are always changing, badly written programs (but the worse they are written, the better, so you can keep ever more programmers correcting huge botches of crappy code that just gets worse and worse and the bosses put more and more pressure for it to be out by tomorrow creating a never ending host of more fake work, more effort, more failures creating ever more crap work, ever more trash and so forth and everyone is happy with a huge boatload of crap) constant emergencies and one nighters, constantly keeping all the programmers and other similar types, engineers and such in a state of emergency, of impotence, of being under the thumb of unknown mysterious "market forces" (when in all truth it is just a subjective idiotic way of creating fake hard work for the sake of occupying as much time as possible to make the show of hard work and how much they then "deserve" a raise or promotion when in all truth they are doing huge negative work and wasting huge amounts of time and money pretending to work while they are all just spinning their wheels like crazy, and the kicker is that they all really believe it, they all really believe in all of this huge BS!). Look at Microsoft with their Windows Vista, after years of programming and hard work they turned out a turd, how is this possible ? how is it that they are so stupid ? aren't they the best graduates ? and what possible improvements has windows had since windows 95 ? very few after 20 years and billions of dollars and millions of man years of "programming". What assholes. And no one asks why: well because we have very little real work left to do as a society so we invent fake work that creates a negative result, the creates less than what we had before spending billions and millions of man hours of "programming".
Case in point, most of any and all programming problems could be sovled by not more than 10,000 blocks of highly efficient generalized code, this would require at most 1,000 man years, but man years of work where the programmer works mearly 2 hours a day and thinks out how to design really top notch generalized efficient programs that can be used over and over again and such. And obviously, the programmers should be pretty good in logic and mathematics and understand how to really write serious code and such (no one nighters here, no overtime here, no make believe hard work here, just pure brain power and serious thoughts). So that would require maybe some 400,000 man hours in all, could be done by the best 1,000 programmers by a single serious company that doesn't want to waste time on the big show of making believe they need hard work and such BS. It would cost maybe 10 billion dollars top.
What we have globally, as a society instead is 20 years of a million programmers wasting 1500 hours a year, some 20 billion man hours and some 300 billion dollars to produce nothing but hard work, stress, long hours and such BS and crappy software and a never ending host of problems that generate ever more problems in a self mutiplying effect, in autogrowth mode.
Compare the price by a society: 300 billion dollars against 10 billion dollars, or 20 billion man hours against 400,000 man hours. This is the exact measure of EXCESS CAPACITY, of the need to produce negative productivity, the need to create destructive useless work to saturate all of the excess capacity that the system really has. We need to kill the productivity a Technological Economy really has because we are still guided by a stone age "hard work" ritual that mean nothing but is imposed by subjective will powers that simply can't imagine a world without all of this huge BS of hard work.
Instead what we really need is FREE SALARIES; huge public and private projects like space exploration, trillions of skyscrapers, trillons of cars, technologies, a never ending array of projects and advances, hobby factories, bus lines, high speed trains all across the world, and conquer other planets, and trillions of people, research, the future, science and new brain designs, crack open skulls and shove wild symbols and chemicals inside new brains that think differently and new cyborgs. New instant singularities going towards the future, etc. all the stuff I always wrote about. And get rid of the resource scarcity tree hugging green myths, we need to go forward not backward.
THE ULTRA GOD HAS SPOKEN ONCE AGAIN, THUS SPOKE THE OVERGOD, THE TOP, ULTIMATE, THE MOST OF ANYTHING. I AM THE VERY TOP, THE BEST, I AM ALL THERE IS, I AM SO MUCH BETTER THAN ANY GOD, I AM THE ULTIMATE.
THE BOSS, THE SHIT, THE COCK, KILL ME, I AM THE ULTIMATE WINNER.
THE TOWER GOD, THE TOWER, THE IT.
THE MAGIC MARKER.
