@prietschka @annaecook I don't like being considered a half-educated moron, but there's something different I'd like to highlight: A lot of us didn't get into tech because we were good at the people skills. Or because we were good at the abstract. Technology, at its heart, is a very deterministic, reliable field which allows individuals to carve out space to do their own thing. It's a good option for those who aren't well connected with their peers, but who want the power to just do things. In other words... it's very attractive to a kind of person who would be very bad at organizing a high-risk, socially complex structure with only the people they are directly engaged with in person, while at the same time battling various manipulation tactics. If tech is going to unionize, tech workers are going to need specialized help to do so.
