- yoyohello13 2y agoI assume you're joking, but I do think wealth inequality is a major driver of this.
- pjc50 2y agoThe thing is: you've already got the means of production. You have a computer, your brain (the real core of software production), and the whole universe of open source / Free software out there. What people actually want is VC money salaries without having to pay the VC piper's price, which is more of a problem. (AI has changed this somewhat, because it's so energy-intensive that it's become a capital asset. And of course we have to consider the monopolistic nature of software markets.)
- janderson215 2y agoMost people don’t have this, but engineers do and we should be the last people complaining. We get paid well enough to save up and start a small company and take on the risk. The Borg can buy you out, but don’t give them your soul. The world is a better place with more entrepreneurs and new businesses. That part is on us.
