Have fun working when companies start paying indians 5 cents an hour to take over your jobs.

I'm afraid ey is correct. Picture a hobbiest programmer who works on ey's own projects for fun at least 10 hours a day, every day. Now picture a hobbiest programmer who works on ey's own projects for fun at least 6 hours every week end and gets completely inebriated every day during the week, but maybe getting one hour of programming at most in on the week days before disappearing into a void of heroin induced paradise and laying motionless on the couch. A programmer who works for money is no different from the later, but they don't don't have fun.

A professional is not allowed to think freely for eyself. All ey's work belongs to a company. They have sold their intellectual soul to a corporation with an NDA, like one sells their soul to the devil. Their mind is not allowed to operate outside of the company. Their manager will find their code and sue them for reusing their work outside the company, because they wrote a red black tree. They should go to work and work long hours. When they get home, they should watch TV and fall asleep. When they are fired/retire/die, their legacy should not be their own.

Sure, it's allright. If you're a faggot, I mean, sure, go and use "they" in singular, "he" in plural, "I" instead of "you". Knock yourself off, faggot.

Singular they has been used for centuries, while nobody has ever used your examples in a non-comical way. We advocate singular they not because it makes sense, but because it is accepted as grammatically correct. People act like this is something that was just made up in the past decade, when it wasn't.

Besides, "they" is much better than "ey" or other made up gender-neutral pronouns.

Examples made up:
Somebody asked if they could sit down.
A runner took their daily jog.
Nobody in this thread knows what they are talking about.

Shakespeare examples:
Tis meet that some more audience than a mother, since nature makes them partial, should o'erhear the speech.
There's not a man I meet but doth salute me / As if I were their well-acquainted friend
And every one to rest themselves betake.

Tis meet that some more audience than a mother, since nature makes them partial, should o'erhear the speech.
This is plural: he's referring to mothers as a class. "...than a mother, since nature makes mothers partial..."

There's not a man I meet but doth salute me / As if I were their well-acquainted friend
This is plural: he's referring to all the men he meets. This is obvious if you continue reading: "And every one doth call me by my name.
Some tender money to me; some invite me;". Some [men] tender money to him, some [men] invite him. Plural again.

And every one to rest themselves betake.
"Everyone" is obviously plural as it doesn't refer to a particular person but rather to a group.

If that's all the evidence you've got, then I can safely conclude that this "singular they" is an ill-begotten child of the past couple of decades.

Regardless of the context, all of the antecedents listed are singular. It doesn't matter if they are implied to be plural. The point is that "they" can refer back to a singular antecedent.

If "everyone" is plural, then why does it take a singular verb? "Everyone sings, everyone reads, everyone takes, everyone smokes." Why does it use the adjective "every", which is only used with singular nouns? Since it is treated as a singular, and since it's an indefinite pronoun without a gender, it's logical to use the singular they with it, as well as with similar pronouns, "everybody", "each one", etc.

But no, I have more. Here are some others:

"I, John Shepherd, might conceal any family-matters that I chose, for nobody would think it worth their while to observe me." (Jane Austen, Persuasion)
"Who is in love with her? Who makes you their confidant? (Jane Austen, Emma)
"A person can't help their birth" (William Makepeace Thackeray, Vanity Fair, 1848)
"She kept her head and kicked her shoes off, as everybody ought to do who falls into deep water in their clothes." (C.S. Lewis, Voyage of the Dawn-Treader, 1952)
"I know I like a person when directly I see them!" (Virginia Woolf, The Voyage Out, 1915)

But all of the antecedents are singular. Just because you can deduce some way to say he's really implying plurality doesn't change the fact that "a mother", "a man", and "everyone" are all singular antecedents.

This isn't even something to argue about. Nearly all grammarians support the usage of singular they. Why are you so insistent on going against a phenomenon that is so natural in every day speech?

Depends on what you do. You definitely end up hating it if you're pidgeon-holed into some shitty position making CRUD applications that is devoid of any sort of creativity, but if you end up writing code that you enjoy then there is no problem.

The only good news is that programming would be the last job to be automated, while drivers and pilots are gonna lose their jobs in near future with AI breakthroughs, like google car's.

Even managers are losing their jobs already, due to the automatization of all processes. You don't need bank clerks when there are bit-coins.
