Tech workers aren't any better, they have no qualms with "just following orders" as long as they get their high salaries and stock grants.

Yes, why would teams want to build a complex thing where they can claim tribal knowledge while building up their fiefs? Truly there is no junk incentive here, people just WANT complexity. No ulterior motives to be found!

They aren't saying this tho, they are saying to go to therapy to help solve it.

This is baffling to hear dude, I literally canvas with 1000s of people before. All these people have no issues interacting with complete strangers in hostile areas withe ease. The amount of people doing this is in the tens of millions, from

Yes, why would teams of a company prefer shorter less risky projects to look better in front of the person that controls their livelihoods on whether they become homeless or die due to lack of health insurance next sprint? Totally realistic

What a hilariously moronic comment. In what way is this true? When the cotton gin was invented, slavery absolutely exploded and productivity rose like several 100,000%. Was this meaningful for humanity? Keeping 20% of the population in bond

The job losses don't have to happen and it's a failure of the government in allowing it happen. There is always a job to be done if people are willing to work, there are always people willing to do certain types of work.

Every country on this Earth will now seek nukes because of the actions we see on display. Nuclear proliferation is the only way to practice sovereignty, and nuclear proliferation will surely lead to the destruction of humanity as it becomes

Yes, why would Iran reject an offer from a government that tore up previous agreements, had their leaders assassinated, had sanctions inflicted upon them for decades, and even had chemical weapons used against them provided by the same gove

Sorry that it makes you uncomfortable to realize that slavers built this nation and enforced their will on the majority of the country by creating a government where elites control the country through minority rule. I bet you think the 3&#x

Sorry man but the software world is littered with CRUD apps, they are called CRUD apps for a reason. They're basically the mass assembled stamped L-bracket of the software world. CRUD apps have also had template generators for like 30

They are, plenty of BYD factoring being built throughout South America and Southeast Asia as a condition of opening trade. Same is starting to happen in Europe too. You just aren't going to this too much in the US or any countries full

I don't see why not. The US is bailing out foreign countries, might as well bail out unsustainable businesses too.

For who? A bunch of financiers that gamble with pension funds? The real panic is when they IPO and force 401Ks to buy into it.

I too spend over $100 on drugs that make me feel productive but actually am not.

Google Cloud also needs to show constant quarterly growth so what better way than simply buying it and fudging the numbers?

It's almost always a CRUD app or dashboard that no one uses while being extremely overkill for their use case. edit: LOL called it, a bunch of useless garbage that no one really cares about but used to justify corporate jobs programs.

Yes, it's been widely well known that US corporations cannot compete fairly but require corporate welfare or US government to enforce military might over competitors.

Your first sentence describes the US for the last 40 years. One corporate party that passes legislation to benefit the elites while there are no counter civil rights movements where US citizens are literally less free than they were 10 year

Not really as I am a commoner and don't really benefit with whatever happens. I'm sure the executives at Walmart or Google care, but this will never impact the lives of 99% of the US population. I'm more concerned with police

LOL I'm sorry but I can't believe people whole heartedly swallow such propaganda. "but tHeY PLANn3d for 50 years!!11!" HAHAHAHA. Have a good life dude.

Ah yes, shinier trinkets while your material reality dissolves (unaffordable housing, childcare, school, poor jobs, poor benefits)! The neoliberal dream.

I like how the account is just nothing but attacking workers while supporting the rich, classic VC mindset.

Man if you don't understand how unemployment leads to suicide you are truly a privilege individual. I honestly envy you now.

Yes and you think the workers will truly benefit from this? This country can't even pass universal childcare or medicare for all, two policies that have >70% of support across party lines. Fat chance that the current government nati

Honestly the China scare mongering is borderline hilarious. The US has literally attacked two countries this year in the span of weeks and is blockading another causing needless deaths. Not too mention the last 50 years of US imperialism ma

LLMs don't upend anything about labor theory, good grief. Technologists really have no concept of history beyond their own lives do they? Labor saving/efficiency devices have been introduced throughout capitalisms entire history m

No but purposely forcing economic hardship on people when you're one of the most profitable entities on earth will always be a shitty thing. I'm sorry but treating workers like replaceable cogs is disgusting behavior and I'm

Wow wages barely rising after 60 years of wage suppression, the wealth is truly trickling down now! Just ignore that the top 1% stole $50 trillion from the bottom 90%: https://time.com/5888024/50-trillion-income-inequal
