Homie you’ve been around here long enough to know that that is exactly the case
Software developers view themselves as an entirely different class than skilled blue-collar laborers precisely because of their access to capital
It is explicitly because a single engineer can go out and get money from a capitalist and a single machine shop operator cannot go out and get money from a capitalist that makes the distinction
People wonder why software developers are anti-union it’s because they are fundamentally capitalist at heart
- mrguyorama 8mo agoThe vast vast vast majority of programmers do not have access to capital. But they eat up the propaganda about how they totally could just happen to get that capital and run a one man software business and make a billion dollars. Which is why they spent all that time and energy insisting they didn't have to unionize, because they were super important and could totally negotiate better than anyone else, especially a giant group of programmers, and now are panicking because dumb middle managers want to replace them with LLMs entirely. Very predictable.
