I know the leftist in me is supposed to have sympathy for these people and get them to unionize. But only after I stop laughing and enjoying this moment. For years these fucks told the rest of us to “learn to code” and pretended like studying anything else at uni was a fucking waste of time.
GUESS WHAT FUCKERS. SO WAS CODING. Looks like we’ll be baristas together, only I’ll have three years of experience!!!
Ironically I'm not even that good at it but I can't imagine doing anything else. I seem to lack the ability to disconnect the idea of "work" and my mental health. Its incredibly unhealthy but I basically shut down when given a long, monotonous task so I've optimized my life to avoid that, if that makes sense. If I'm not doing this, I think my only other option is construction or some other manual labor.
It's honestly crazy how tech people can be so abused but are so trained to hate unions. They just hope there's someone high enough with sway to have their interests at heart, and if not, go "oh well"
