The "gig economy" being discussed isn't highly paid software developers. It's dudes working uber / lyft / postmates. These people have no negotiating power.... you take the gig or you leave it.
It is amazing how out of touch people in the software echo chamber are....
- mi100hael 9y agoThe article specifically calls out a web developer example and suggests that "within a decade, contractors and freelancers could make up half of the American workforce." Nowhere except the parents' comment is the "gig economy" being discussed. The vast vast majority of employment/contract opportunities out there involve face-to-face negotiations.
