The way ruthless capitalism works in today's age, the software writer barely gets peanuts, bulk is taken away by the management, CEO and shareholders.
- 4gotunameagain 3y agoI agree with the sentiment, but let's not pretend that software writers are victims of capitalism. Based on the reward/effort ratio, software devs are one of the most privileged groups that have ever existed. You can make more money writing javascript that you learned on udemy and youtube than a firefighter or a doctor. It is absurd.
