Engineers are still not proles lol. And they will never be, so it's always funny to hear a bunch of highly paid SWE talk like they are class conscious workers.

It's even funnier when that discourse seem to mostly happen when firings happen, as if losing your highly-paid cushy job makes you a proletaire.
- ye-olde-sysrq 4y ago"with 0 connection to anything close to labor." Except for the part where if you get fired, a countdown starts for when you become homeless and then starve? Especially in the US? "professional managerial class" are still labor, since their primary expression of economic power is through the sale of their labor. Stop trying to drive class division.
