Haha, it seems childish but if you’d like to go that route I’ll just point you to the original posters reply:
>It's exposing the hypocrisy of privileged groups suddenly being treated like regular people, when they did NOTHING for decades to help others or even to protect themselves ("f* you, got mine", rockstar programmer, 10x programmer, talents everywhere, etc mentality). No unions, no collective bargaining, sheer individual greed.
So, I guess since you’re taking that position, Thomas: are you just pro pain for an increasing number of workers or can we agree that adding more people to the pool of mistreated labor isn’t beneficial for anyone?
Personally I’m going to continue advocating for better rights for both.
What "pain" are you talking about? You keep trying to smuggle this framing in. I don't accept the premise.
No smuggling needed. The original poster and I are on the same page and I suspect you’re just playing games to avoid hard questions.
I’m assuming from that that fly.io may not have a great work culture.
What a weirdly hostile and offensive response. I'm always struck by people who think they can namedrop my employers to shut down an argument, like we're just going to believe and profess whatever keeps people on message boards from being mean about the company.
But, no, I feel like throughout this thread I've been pretty consistently putting a question to you (what exactly do you mean by "pain" or mistreatment, given the original comment described other professionals having norms developers seem now to be recoiling from).
We can be done, though, obviously.
