      Because despite being working class, they're treated like and think they're capitalists.

      That and the "one right way of doing things" mindset is popular among both fascists and the programming sphere.

      I once made a really elegant solution with a switch state board and the person in charge asked me to do it as nested IF (because that's the way we do it) and then rejected it when the resulting code was ugly as shit. I quit.

        Maybe for Pythonistas, but not programming in general. With Unix there's generally more than one way to do things, and most software devs I know don't think that way.

          God I can't get over how much I hate Python and its programmers. They have so much delusions of grandeur but often their code quality is completely trash.

        Yandere dev is that you??

        Either way that is one fucking stupid piece of shit, his existance proof itself that meritocracy is a sham.

          Haven't really been keeping up but I thought the whole thing behind Yanderedev's shitty code is that he used nested IFs in cases where switch statements would be way more fitting.

      It got coopted from women's work into "engineering" in the late 70s or so. Engineers in general each think they're living in their own John Galt world

      Somewhat newish field. At least it's gotten much larger in the last couple decades so salaries are still somewhat high-ish because of unmet demand or whatever. I guess? I'm not an expert. It's just one of those jobs where people feel like they're geniuses even though they can largely thanks privilege.
