It always is a matter of choice. Rich people choose wisely for the fast buck, and poorly for the suckers they bend, fold, spindle and mutilate.

> During my entire life I’ve only had two jobs. In the first one, I played a role in developing software to empower people through my work at Microsoft.

Some of us remember the story/urban legend of Bill Gates "developing" BASIC by retrieving a printout of source code from a dumpster, a process infinitely more efficient than an LLM.

NOTE. "Played a role in developing", not "Played a role BY developing"

The former could be said by the coffee maker. Or dumpster diver.
