I find this line of thinking interesting, but the sentiment in my social circles is not against SWEs at all. Is there a campaign going to make software engineers the facto scape goat of the current downturn ( and ads, and layoffs and ai taking everyone's job )? If so, it may be worthwhile to nip it in the bud.
