Unions were always the way to gain those rights: weekends, 8hours a day, abolition of child labour, they were all fights won by unions. Now USA have weak business unions and no more rights are gained. Same is happening is happening in Europ

I have no problem if you spend some time on pointless stuff, I do it too. I have a problem with the edonistic status quo where to decide a new project the norm is to suggest to do "something you like" instead of "something th

I believe the "learning exercises" are over when you are able to develop solid real world software with the skills you have but you decided to keep expanding "horizontally" your skillset out of desire for novelty, desire

Are you seriously suggesting that the knowledge and skills that are being taught to you on how to program come without responsabilities attached?

I'm not against finding amusement in programming, I'm against in promoting the idea that it's normal, healthy and preferable to find amusement in useless projects. You can be a virtuoso while developing something that matters

Fine, I'm questioning the idea that the goal should be to maximize an hypotethical "programming skill", something that I'm not sure it even exist, I can only see adherence to different subjective definitions of "cle

De-growth movement and accelerationism don't. I guess anarcho-primitivism doesn't either but they are not really active in mainstream politics.

Left wing accelerationism as pictured by Snircek and Williams in their work is missing a lot. It just references women's issues, minorities' issues and colonial issues but doesn't really incorporate or develop ideas on how to

I think it depends on the countries. While I can believe this is true in the USA, for sure it doesn't apply to Italy, UK and Germany where l/acc stuff is being read by many in the cultural elites. Also mind that l/acc is not
