Very pleased, but also confused, to read two quite good and quite different articles on the same topic in a row that both coherently referenced Marxism. FWIW I work at a not-originally-software-native company that is pushing in a more software-first-oriented direction, as much of the world has since 2011, and that undermines the title "don't call yourself a programmer" more than anything, but also some of the other points in the 2011 article. I do think much of the cynical stuff in the 2011 article is very important for naive tech enthusiasts and naive young professionals to understand, and it seems full of good advice, but the linked 2013 article is also a good counterbalance.
