Nice, get rekt, Zucc.
I’m sure he’s really sad on his yacht with his billions of dollars.
Out of the frying pan…
it’ll cost 16,000 jobs
wonder when software devs will get serious about unionizing
this will never happen in the current landscape; it’s controlled by libertarian & neoliberal people who detest collectivism in all of its forms.
and toxically so, my psychological well being has improve dramatically ever since leaving the field.
I really think it’ll depend on how bad the employment situation gets. At some point people are going to start realizing they’re not temporarily inconvenienced billionaires, and that their interests aren’t aligned with the oligarchs. Software devs have been largely insulated from general economic problems until recently. Getting a job has been relatively easy, the pay was way above what most people make, and that fed individualistic behavior. Now that jobs are becoming scarce, and there’s a huge pool of laid off workers, people are starting to get concerned.
those conditions describe the entirety of the united states and, yet, unionization is still abysmally weak.
and i would expect that an entire field whose members have prided themselves on anti-collectivization would be less apt to adopt a union than any other field.
I guess we’ll see, but I do think people will start adapting to their new reality out of necessity.
to be fair: i agree that it will happen eventually, but it’ll come at a time after the americans vote out their political duopoly like the mexicans did to their duopoly back in 2018.
We’ll see how it goes, the US might just descend into a civil war scenario at this point.
I love the couple days a week I don’t have to work with software developers, in my experience they generally have a god complex comparable to surgeons, so good luck to the unemployed software developers starting a union I suppose because any of them that stay employed are just going to grow their ego further until it crumbles on top of them.

IT; I did it for 10 years before hand and now I’m back.
that was just a play so clueless speculators think that facebook is still a growth company, justifying their insane P/E. it don’t matter the money “burned” as long the derivatives are booming. they didn’t lose shit, this don’t touch them in the slightest.
even now, this isn’t pushed as defeat, it’s used as an opportunity to bolster their new play - ai.
Would have been much cheaper to partner with VRchat, no?
They can’t kill the metaverse, it was never theirs.
