Yep, literal, functional idiots, as in, they keep doing easily provably as stupid things, mainly because they are too stubborn to admit they could be wrong about anything.

I used to be part of this industry, and I bailed, because the ratio of higher ups that I encountered anywhere, who were competent at their jobs vs arrogant lying assholes was about 1:9.

Corpo tech culture is fucked.

Makes me wanna chip in a little with a Johnny Silverhand solo.

Fuck man, why don't more ethical-ish devs join to make stuff? What's the missing link on top of easy sharing like FOSS kinda' already has?

Obviously programming is a bit niche, but fuck... how can ethical programmers come together to survive under capitalism? Sure, profit sharing and coops aren't bad, but something of a cultural nexus is missing in this space it feels...

Well, I'm not quite sure how to ... intentionally create a cultural nexus ... but I would say that having something like lemmy, piefed, the fediverse, is at least a good start.

Socializing, discussion, via a non corpo platform.

Beyond that, uh, maybe something more lile an actual syndicalist collective, or at least a union?
