It's great that she takes joy in his work, and sad that economics is pushing her to focus on different details with less joy. But the same can be said for a horse groom who loves her work being pushed to transition into a mechanic. Change sucks, but less than petrification.

Probably because there is no bio or name on this page and the author mentions their girlfriend. Seems an easy error to make

"Petrification" still sucks less than enshittification. Most of the so-called progress from AI is making the world worse for the average person.
