I have my doubts, but I find it hilarious that using tech gatekeepers using leetcode as some IQ test or meritocracy can be automated away.

I remember the programmer T-shirt that said "go away or I will replace you with a very small shell script"
Well how the turns table.

Unlike cops though, there's no interest in capital keeping them around. Look at every other socially privileged labour aristocracy from the cotton weavers and the guilds on up. Thrown under the bus at the first opportunity.
This. Cops are important as they are the distributors of violence at the behest of the state and have always existed in some way or form throughout history. Coders, though valuable, are not as valuable as a man willing to put on a bulletproof vest and take a truncheon to their fellow man. Also of note is coders are distinct from millionaire and billionaire techbros and will likely be quickly dumped for a majority of code made by machines and then edited by a privileged few by companies such as Google, Apple, Microsoft, etc.
in my experience as a software engineer attempting to organize her workplace:
the people who are likely to unionize a tech workplace are FOSS communists, the chud programmers are too bootstrappy and think that somehow they personally can negotiate better than any collective bargaining thus have no use for it
