Thank you for creating non-fiction!
That was by accident!
I’m happy to be lucky that my last two jobs have been either writing code for scientific charities or safety software. I’m fairly sure my code has never once harmed anyone, and may have even saved lives, maybe… Maybe it’s not important enough to actively save a life, but it at least stopped people making stupid mistakes that could lead to people dying.
Thank you for your service!
Despair for content I like it thank you.

I’m in this comic and I don’t like it.
Could be worse; they could be a product manager
This is how I felt when I used to work in insurance. Glad I got out.
The lie they tell you is that your replaceable. Fuck em, without you they have to work just a bit harder to maintain control…
Finally, Unix realism! 🙃
Damn, this is a deep cut.
We tech workers really are class traitors.
Bro you might be I just make cataloguing software for libraries and shit. There are massive swathes of the tech industry that aren’t FAANG and sketchy startups.
No we aren’t one cartoon doesn’t define you.
Now if you’re coding something intentionally addicting and soul crushing yes you’re bad.
Ofc. We’re class traitors, but also victims. We have slightly more bargaining power (for now) than the average worker, so I think we deserve that much more flak.
Everything can be rationalized away, but if you can answer hate and fear with love and understanding, nothing in the 'Verse can stop us.
I can rationalize the top monsters behaviour back to childhood trauma, and I can see how even the last factory worker can be the same level of responsible as the president of the United States.
The key for me is finding personal responsibility for myself. I was never taught how to take proper care of myself (emotionally mainly), and I think this might be endemic to society. I might be projecting.
