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!!!
A handful of speculative super-bubbles are on the verge of popping (one might argue that sites like Twitter have already popped and just won’t admit it).
The overwhelming majority of software engineers and systems architects and coders are either
a) doing just fine in their non-imploding industries, such as finance and energy and manufacturing
b) eating the same pile of dogshit they’ve been eating for the last 30 years, assuming they’re doing entertainment software or working Fivr jobs or otherwise engaged in the most precarious forms of software development work
This isn’t bad news for coders. This is bad news for Silicon Valley VCs and their promise of unlimited borrowing capacity.
