And what happens when this job eventually ends (as they all do) and the only thing you've had to show for your time spent in industry is your league of legends score? Meanwhile your peers would have likely moved on, gained skills and progressed in their careers in someway. Sounds like a sure-fire way to deadend your career and limit your future prospects.
One thing that I find maddening about this topic is the assumption that people who automate their jobs won't take the new time they get back and put it to better use. For some, that could be learning skills or working on a startup, and others might just want to spend time with their kids.
That said, it seems incredibly wrong to judge someone for being clever enough to relax and get paid for it. And if someone enjoys relaxing as much as I enjoy coding, who am I to say that I'm righteous and they are a loser?
I was addressing the exact situation in the article where the guy used the time to play league of legends. But you’re right it’s not for me to judge how others spend their time.
