I don't disapprove, though it does seem a bit out of touch. Maybe developers aren't the most thoughtful people, but the state of things isn't without reason. If you moved to another city, you are paying a lot of rent, you work as a contractor (or other "flexible" employment), you have student loans, potentially a mortgage, you don't know how long you have this career and there isn't any employee organization to back you up then "values" doesn't come first. You should change the way investors, schools, companies and societies work.
- adjkant 7y agoI mean investors, schools, companies, and societies are all made up of people. It isn't only aimed at developers. That said, even with those factors, many employees in tech today 100% have ways they can influence the way companies interact with these values, even in small ways. More nuanced yes but I don't think its fair to say it's out of touch. Especially if this hits its goal and is displayed in many places, social pressures can help at both the developer and company level.
