Clicked on the link since the thumbnail showed a flowchart (I like them), and got to learn quite a bit. Sad that samurai is obsolete but glad that body snatcher and slave catcher are as well.
I got a nice chuckle out of match maker, never thought of it in this manner, and will never not think about it whenever someone says anything about matchmaking.
Also chuckle worthy, “Flowchart to determine if an occupation should be included in the list of obsolete occupations”, and the first decision box is “Is occupation obsolete?”.

15 years or so ago, one of my main sources of income was DVD Authoring (e.g. making menus, titles, subtitles, navigation of video files etc), a skill and trade that’s now completely irrelevant.
I don’t get all the upvotes. Isn’t this just UI/UX which is anything but irrelevant? What am I missing here?
In the early days it was a bit more than that. You had to deal with fiddly software and do things like mapping buttons to video tracks, create transition videos, create chapters etc… It’s been a couple of decades since I last dabbled with this stuff, but I remember that doing it well, and creating something that stood out and worked well, was a bit of an art.
Edit: All/most of those things became easy(ier) as authoring software improved, of course, but in late 90s and early 00s it took practice and skill to achieve a professional result.
I was a protectionist at a cinema for a while. I get it.
