If I wasn't autistic before I learned to code, I sure as hell became autistic in the process. Learning to think like a computer in order to program one is a dehumanizing process. Kind of explains why so many techies are fucked in the head.

Fucked in the head and believe that we can solve every problem with tech.

The example of the guillotine ought to be all anybody needs to understand that social and political problems are not amenable to technological solutions.
