“We finally have it working in the new feed reader I’ve been working on, and it’s fantastic. Markdown is just enough HTML and not too much. Exactly the right amount for what we need in the world of feeds.”

Most Jobs Fall Into 3 Major Categories
𝗩𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗺𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀 - a person takes money, hands you an object; liquor store clerks, cashiers, bank tellers, etc.
𝗗𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗺𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀 - taxis, aeroplanes, trucks, etc.
𝗕𝗮𝗯𝘆𝘀𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀 - people that watch things. But this extends to people that tweak small things (on par with wiping a baby’s arse) like pool repair, HVAC repair, etc. They take the diaper off, they wipe it down, they put the diaper back on; janitors, gardeners, farmers, painters, security guards, testing, stockers, etc.
Every single one of these will be replaced by a robot, and pretty soon.
