    True, but that’s why you do a trade union instead of a company union. And programmers have a lot to gain. These companies, shareholders, and CEOs rake in billions that could be going to employees.

    A programmer will make a feature that saves the company a million dollars and they’ll get paid $100,000 to build it.

    Now is the best time for programmers to unionize. Do it when you already have leverage to make sure the good times stay good. Otherwise, we’ll eventually be as replaceable as drafters are now.

      Yeah like AWS was Bezos’ own invention, right? It’s the only thing that brings money in. His idea of the webshop failed miserably and was financed by friends

      Did you mean software engineers? A professional degree is not required but it is mostly software engineers taking the positions. The job title is also software engineer.

        Software engineer is a stupid term akin to calling the guy at Subway a “sandwich engineer”. Which even if stupid doesn’t really affect me. But now, half the time anyone says “engineer” it’s for you programmer dudes, and not real engineers. You’ve destroyed job boards and listings.
