We are back to the "your shit stinks" "argument".
You said that a Go-software module's worth is equal to the time it takes to
program.

Nonsense:

1. What one person takes x time to program might take others 100 * x time if
they do not know how it is done
2. You totally disregard the time it takes to train the system and the value
of the input-data and output-data.
3. The value of something is the value it adds and the market demand, not
the cost of the materials.

You have zero arguments to prove me wrong so you revert to "Your shit
doesn't work so it's worthless".
