Because employers decided that programmers had too much leverage, laid off half of us, and they are left disproportionately with those who didn't speak out for whatever reason. It wasn't caught because catching this sort of thing is not valued by managers.

This is why programming needs to be a Trade. Regardless of economic position, there needs to be some way for programmers to have leverage over decision-making, even if that is only to prevent employers from shooting their own eyes out.

@jneen also if the internal perf requires everyone use copilot, they're obviously going to underestimate the impact on non-copilot users. lmao.

@jneen@unstable.systems Joke will be on them when all the online infastructure collapses from the vibe coding nobody knows how to fix. After that Nepal will look like childs play.
