Agreed. Cleaning and correcting a code base is only part of the solution. Putting in place the policies and culture to make sure the code stays clean is the other part.

The people on top desperately want us gone
This is a cynical view of the world. Maybe the people "on top" simply want to improve their company's efficiency in order to return value to investors, etc. My point being its economics, not some evil intent.
Software engineers need to recognize this common threat and organize (labor) sooner than later
And the point of that would be what? To protect our jobs by demanding that industry ignore and no longer pursue innovation? That seems like heresy for anyone in Tech.
If the day does come that AI starts writing code, the lost of our fat salaries and stock options will likely be the least of our problems; or perhaps the world will be void of problems altogether.

Depends on where you get your news from. If all you do is watch the evening news, you will never get the full picture. Most of what is on television is so dumbed down as to be useless.

"just, wow" > "wow", denotes staggering astonishment. Or put more simply: minds were blown.

Shouldn't people who want to learn web development use the workflow and tools of professional web developers? And since these tools are free, I don't see the case for Thimble.

Starbucks customers go there for the customer experience, not for the coffee
Actually we go for the coffee. But there is something to be said for the store experience of Starbucks, it is high-class and delightful, compared to something like Dunkin Donuts.
there is better and cheaper coffee elsewhere, even McDonalds
People who can't taste the difference between McDonalds' coffee and Starbucks, are not in Starbucks demographic. For the price, you can't get a better cup of coffee, unless you're willing to roast the beans yourself.
With that said, the key issues with Starbucks, are long lines, high prices and the wi-fi squatters. I seriously doubt that a cart based coffee stand can address all of these issues.
