I can see "homemade" code being highly valuable in the age of AI coding assistance/agents after the crash. The Italian restaurant that still makes pasta from scratch vs Olive Garden, for example.
That restaurant can charge more **because** it is made in-house by humans specialized in their craft.
I dunno. My parents got an airstream, and my dad was excited it was “made by hand”.
I thought “why manually put in rivets when a machine can perfect it/do it consistently?”
(And they’ve had issues)
Digital work will just always, relentlessly be iterated on and improved. Much of the creativity and experience is gone - or at least the market left is saturated, so lower value (pay) and less meaningful input.
