I've got a book review out in the London School of Economics Review of Books! This is for @robert_dorschel's excellent The Social Codes of Tech Workers, which is a really valuable qualitative study of data scientists and UX designers in the US and Germany and their potentials for class identity.

@sakhavi I read the lae synopsis. Am I correct in registering that you're surprised that tech employees still work for plutocrats, despite relatively consistent moral values? Was there any other option? Also I think you might have spotted the incredibly broad epidemic kf "quiet quitting" or "work to rule" and called it "strong value towards work-life balance" @robert_dorschel
