Most software companies are terrible places to work. If I try to have a conversation with an interviewer and they shrug, I probably don't want to work there. And it turns out that's most companies.
What do we do? There's nothing to do. There's no alternative. It's just utterly depressing.
- austin-cheney 3y agoThe horror of software employers is relative to their size and revenue. The larger and more money they have the less horrible the employment experience will be. It all comes down to fatal misunderstandings of economics (applies universally) and having sufficient money on hand to cushion that blow. It seems thoughts on economics are revisited following a major disruption to productivity. Colonization produced mercantilism. Industrialization produced Adam Smith. Modern corporations produced Keynes, Hayden, and Friedman. Software (automation) has not yet had theirs. These thoughts on economics alter the relationships between employees, work, and the things produced.
