Firstly hilarious that BI is basically just posting message board comments as news.

But also those comments are expectedly hideous.

      They’re right, but for the wrong reasons. Everyone who doesn’t own a company is underpaid in capitalism because that’s how surplus value works. The problem is that they’re denigrating other workers instead of learning from their example.

        Tbf a lot of the value in tech is not created by software Devs. Take uber for example, comparing drivers to Devs, its pretty clear that one side of that equation is getting a hell of a lot more of the surplus value created.

          Yeah, it’s nowhere near evenly distributed, but if the company didn’t get more value out of the devs than it was paying them, then it wouldn’t have those devs.
