    See I know this isn’t the real future because she would obviously be destitute as well. Only crocheters are irreplaceable.

        That greatly depends on what you’re making and the knots you have to use. It can be insanely complex with loads of different variables affecting the end result. The skill set ranges from script kid to software architect.

        Then there are the psychopaths who crochet using embroidery thread.

    I imagine I’ll code long after I’m able to make money at it.

    But, I wouldn’t necessarily mind having to knit, crochet, carve, whittle, sculpt, etc. for a job either. I’m not nearly as good at them, but I think I’d enjoy it more than going back to working at the grocery store / convenience store / gas station.

    I wish we’d go ahead and convert to a post-scarcity global society. We already produce more calories, drinking water, and housing than we need to cover everyone, albeit not necessarily where people currently are. Let people knit all day and still be housed and fed and watered.
