A super majority of developers are engaged in labor meant to replace non-developers with robots. We shouldn't really complain when the reaper comes for us.
Automating jobs is only a problem under capitalism because a minority owns the means of production.
Anyway. Socialism has failed in many/most places mostly because of power, corruption and lies.

Note. The split was done by the Soviet Union and the US.
first they came for X, and I helped them disappear X because they gave me a share of the money X was making and it was good money for me! ... and then when they came for me I didn’t complain because that would be cringe and hypocritical.
