My reply is low value for HN but your comment is the literal embodiment of an older meme:
- Tech Enthusiasts:
Everything in my house is wired to the Internet of Things! I control it all from my smartphone! My smart-house is bluetooth enabled and I can give it voice commands via Alexa! I love the future!
- Programmers / Engineers:
The most recent piece of technology I own is a printer from 2004 and I keep a loaded gun ready to shoot it if it ever makes an unexpected noise.
P.S. More seriously I agree, we witnessed multiple times over the enshitification that inevitably follows.
