It's about sending a message!

But if you do the initial setup time once, you've got much less work the rest of the year!

You're right! And it states "I really don't care about acquiring knowledge".

How busy are you to go that lenght to supposedly save time?

It states "I don't want to waste my time writing some shitty assignments for subjects I will not pursue in the future anyways". This person obviously does have time to acquire knowledge and does it, because programming this requires knowledge about things such as vector graphics, neural networks and GCODE creation.

Are you me when I was back in school? Is this a loop hole?

Yes, much of which we learn in school seems/feels unnecessary to a perceived/imagined/planned personal future but its the variety of subjects that creates the basis for multi layered reasoning.

I am painfully aware Lemmy is mostly populated by high technically proficient individuals but the world is not about to be handled by machines and AI, not now and I risk not ever, simply because there are tasks that can not and should not ever be handled by a machine.

IT and tech is not the cusp of human achievement.
