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.

This was a lot less of a problem in the 2010s, because we had a certain amount of economic leverage. But it's becoming painfully obvious something else is needed now.

@jneen I think corporations must be held liable for their shit, and I don't mean being able to cop out with settlements, (regardless of the details; i.e. #OtherOSsettlement) but literally criminally liable with actual jailtime for selling garbage. Also any #IT person should be covered by that and have proper means to stop #Enshittufication and violations of #HumanRights like #Privacy that way!
