(a) There aren't really any developer unions in Europe (maybe someone will correct me but I think I'm right).
(b) There must be a name for the fallacy of examining the top 10% and using it to claim a policy would be bad for everybody.
- Firmwarrior 4y agoThat's true, but this is a site for the top 10% of programmers
- flir 4y agoThat's an incredible feed line. I honestly don't know where to start.
- Firmwarrior 4y agoAll right, to steel-man your argument: Honestly, I think even your lowest-brow code camp copy-paste monkey is in a pretty good spot nowadays in the USA. It's easy to make a six figure income just churning out CRUD apps for 40 hours a week. Any company that won't pay up gets disrupted into oblivion by ones that will. (Or it just clunks along forever with a bunch of underpaid workers churning out low quality crap, like what we see from government/hospital systems. Either way, everything's fine.) What do you want out of a software union? (Keeping in mind that we can comfortably afford and demand basically any perk you can imagine.)
