There were many folks rejecting IDes for long while and also RAD. They kept doing assembly and C with macros’ all over.

Still I’m quite alright with people kneading on one hand while there’s the big bad Jacquard Loom.

BTW I vividly remember there was the older non-programmable loom at my grandmas place and it was huge. Like one room big. People used both techniques though and nobody hated it. Eventually there was also a foot powered Zinger and eventually the electrical one. All these coexisted and I’ve never seen a printed manifesto against any of them.

Pretty sure also people were smarter back then.



I am pretty sure the Luddites did more than just print manifestos.


There were tons of manifestos against industrial machinery. Decades of social movements critiqued industrial machinery from the Luddites onwards.
