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!!!

        coding is a trade.

        You’re an individual paid to use skill to make things that someone else profits from. You may be paid well but you’re also at the bottom of the ladder, having to do what you’re told, discarded as it suits the employer.

          My point is both are alienated and aggrieved, and they both use some “grass is greener” shit to justify why the problem isn’t the capitalist system but just that you chose the wrong line of work

            Agreed. I was more making conversation than contradicting.
