I wasn't attacking you, or even referring to you as a dev, though it would have been a fair assumption regardless given the topic at hand.

I also wasn't claiming 'hard labor' is better or anything, just that there is a large discrepancy between the quality of life and work of the jobs the article is referring to and the jobs that the majority of people actually work.

Many software developers need perspective on the privilege they have, this is coming from someone who has worked a variety of jobs in different industries, attended trade school and university, and is currently a developer.

Fwiw I was generally agreeing with you.
