Thats the beauty of being in a high demand line of work? I struggle to see how being a swe could leave you with no voice. You have mobility and are highly paid. If your company isn’t doing well go find a new job?
I totally understand why people want unions for lower demand work. But I don’t understand it for sw.
What benefit would a union get me? A lot of the benefits I’ve seen from unions I already have. I don’t want seniority based pay. Its already really hard to get rid of coworkers that underperform to the point of impacting others job performance.
A huge part of that riot was the Irish who were fresh off the boat from the potato famine and we’re not pleased that they had escaped one hell and we’re going to be drafted to a war they didn’t care about.
Software and finance tech are both fields where one can make 300k/y without owning anything. Company stock I guess is technically owning a piece of the means of production, but not to a degree that they can really make change to the company. I would argue additionally that owning some index funds does not kick one out of the working class.
There is an electribuzz enemy. Haven’t found a way to catch it though bc it’s controlled by an enemy boss. But there is a monkey with a machine gun who is pretty helpful for DPS racing the bosses.
Some parts are slightly unbaked. Like parts of the map that are missing fast travel points. But the gameplay loop is sane. And it has way more pals than I would be expected. Like dozens and it’s worth getting them.
And it’s surprisingly good
India and China have similar populations. It’s a bit disingenuous to say China has as much pop as the next 6 countries.
That’s all true for game dev but not the rest of tech. If you know that something is wrong you flee before it actually goes bad. Also you can interview for new jobs before you leave the previous one so you don’t have an insurance issue.
Tech workers aren’t above working class concerns. But I’m sick of having to fight the rest of the working class to make any change. I’ll help, but I’m not going to put in a ton of effort for something to help others when those others are hell bent on not receiving that help.
