Comment on Why Tech Employees Are Ready to Revolt

Comments

So... free VC money is drying up (probably for some larger economic reasons?), and it's a lot harder to get paid to do things that don't make money? And this is a "shitshow" and means people are going to "revolt" (and do what instead?).

And somehow the latest improvement to low-code/no-code tooling (LLMs / AI) are making it all worse, maybe because they'll really for real this time finally let business-side people not need programmers.

good start would be to unionize

Check how US steel and auto industry prospered in a connected world with unionized workforce competing with Mexico labour.

You can't legislate your way to profitability... Global competition will eat the profit margin and companies won't have enough money to honour their contracts and will go bust (as history shows).

No written law can compete with the invisible hand of the market.

Unionize at an unprofitable business with no realistic model in a post-ZIRP reality? That would drive a 6 month runway to zero immediately
