Oh that's good.
Hmm. People have wondered how to make a programmer's union different from existing unions. I wonder if doing dual duty - also running this - would help that, or simply make more kinds of things vulnerable to the failure modes of unions...?
Edit: Basically, an organization to protect programmer's ability to positively impact the world...? Rather than one protecting just the people, or protecting the corporations, since due to startup culture that line is pretty blurry?
- shshhdhs 10y agoThis is a fascinating topic. But it would be important to keep it apolitical in nature. Perhaps defending / following the EU's human rights?
- nojvek 10y agoThis definitely makes sense. Governments and corporations sometimes walk all over customers in the name of collecting more data. A well funded Corp could keep them on their toes.
