The issue is not that nobody can hold these systems in their head, they can - they're just not paid to. Your average developer will be working in a new job, on a brand new tech stack, in 2 years. Is two years enough time to understand

Meta grew it's workforce by 50% from 2019 to the layoffs. They appear to think they can get away with 10 or 15 percent RIF to restore profitability. The rest of the industry seems to think so as well. Higher interest rates means expens

Adequate resourcing is irrelevant. Think of the holidays for retail - do you pay 2 to 3x the employees year round to support the November to December shopping season? If you did that, you would be very silly. Conditions will frequently dema

It's a different set of problems too, cooperatives tend to have issues doing anything bigger than a local Bodega. Even in software, once you're big enough to have a real user base you need infrastructure, servers, people to keep t

Corporate tax does not help or hurt labor. Corporations do not pay taxes - their customers or their employees do. The only way that a corporate tax is better for the worker than not a corporate tax is if that money will be better spent by t
