Imagine: It's the year 4249.

Corporate has finally managed to convince workers that they don't need a salary.
Workers are now paid with food, shelter and clothes. And it's only in effect if you achieve your deadlines.

Keystroke monitoring softwares are now replaced with Webcam eye tracking software.

GitHub Co-Pilot now takes over your code editor and tries to dictate you how to write better code.
Refusing to do results in a signal sent to the management about your behaviour and you lose food access for the day.

HR Recruiters now require you to give them a blood sample and part of your house as a security deposit.
They also require you to have a micro-chip placed in your brain so they can monitor their worker's thought process.

Switching a job is no longer an option. You pledge allegiance to one company your entire career.

You can never see the real world now because the government has mandated you to never take off your VR glasses.
You see the world the way the government wants you to see it.

PHP is still trash.

Life is Good.

    Haha if we're still writing code in 2000 I don't know what the hell happened to humanity :p

    At least PHP still sucks.

    @TheCommoner282 I still have questions.

    Like your performance result in what you get for food and shelter.

    So you do something wrong = no food = getting hungry, lack of vitamins = performance goes further down, more chance to make a mistake again, so again no food the next day, brain is now getting in survival mode, starts breaking fats and muscles down, you get sick, cannot perform once again, no food for today... Body is now in decay, hair falling, you start eating rats or other small animals (if they still exists...) But still fucked at the end because of that one mistake...

    Bullshit - workers don't have houses even now...

    With the Great Reset in affect, government+corporate collusion, and the acceptance of 'you'll own nothing and be happy', we're looking closer to 2049.

    @PaperTrail an hypotetical "great reset" is the last of my worries, I'm more worried for Extinction Rebellion/Greenpeace rhetoric to gain traction pushing us in a green dystopia

    @DEVil666 > "pushing us in a green dystopia"

    The 'Green New Deal' is just one tool in the Great Reset toolbox.

    Trick everyone that electric cars will save the planet, eating a burger kills grandma, 'tax the rich' will make everyone equal, gas stoves kill everything, etc..etc.

    Imagine: it's the year 4249. Humanity failed curbing fossil fuel use, a nuclear war happened, gases burned through the entire ozone layer and spare a handful of rich people in underground bunkers, everyone died of cancer caused by UV radiation.

    Nobody gives a shit about tech.
    And evidently, PHP will suck forever

    I just like to take current tech trends and ramp it up for the distant future.

    If you check my profile you will see that I did another one like this but with subscriptions trend. Here it is

    @DEVil666 they will need a smart and charismatic and shrewd leader. I once talked to a very revolutionary minded person of this ideology, and while they had an extensive plan on what they would do once they overthrow the government, they had not even considered that their measures might be unpopular or spark a counter revolution.

    @jeeper In this case I guess I’ll be able to enjoy my ICU motorbike for the years to come 😁
