This is the goal of the wealthy class and corporations. To treat the common man as a disposable and interchagable cog.
Fully aided and abetted by the tech industry, don’t forget. If we aspire to be real engineers we all need to apply some ethical thinking to writing code that enables outsourcing, offshoring, zero hours contracts, surveillance/privacy invasion yadda yadda. And for working for or with companies with those practices.
- blub 8y agoYou're right, but software engineers are divided, selfish and weak. This is a class fight, it can't be won by individuals.

Would that person want their own keystrokes counted and their webcam scanning to make sure their eyes are on the screen?
