Oh, the poor fallen Lords. Hopefully at least they still hoard recipes for sealing wax, maybe they can get jobs at the copy shop.

"Or they could learn to code."
Sadly, coders are seen as disposable as burger flippers these days. Better to learn a trade, hopefully one that isn't so easly filled with migrant workers (not being racist here, I admire them as they do the thankless shit grunt work most US citizens really don't want to do and without complaint).
Was "learn to code" a banhammerable offense because it was an insult to journalists, or because it's really shit advice?

Journalists? No, it was a different profession.

Journalists, where it started.
Of course, "learn to code" was used as a slam against other professions scince then, and I really wish Biden did not use this against the coal miners. :(
This kind of behavior will ensure Trump 2020. :\

Maybe it started with coal miners, but it didn't turn into a slam and a meme until it was used against journalists and Twitter brought the banhammer down on people telling journalists to "learn to code".
If Twitter and the journalists just kept their mouths shut about bruised feelings, this would not have happened.
It also shows that coal miners might grumble, but they won't go waa waa waa. However, because it's now seen as a slam and an insult, Biden might have lost some much needed supporters. :\
