    Yeah. Less abstractly, engineers are disincentivized from documenting what they build in non-unionized workplaces, because it gives them a tech moat which is a hedge against being fired.

    They can’t fire you today if the system will break tomorrow and you haven’t written down how to fix it.

    Or, well , they can and will, but absent class organizing this is the shit people resort to.

    Yet another absurd counterproductive trait of capitalist hierarchy.
