I know the leftist in me is supposed to have sympathy for these people and get them to unionize. But only after I stop laughing and enjoying this moment. For years these fucks told the rest of us to “learn to code” and pretended like studying anything else at uni was a fucking waste of time.
GUESS WHAT FUCKERS. SO WAS CODING. Looks like we’ll be baristas together, only I’ll have three years of experience!!!
It actually peaked with techbros on twitter aiming at journalists when there were mass layoffs after pivot to video failed. The politician line was always STEM education, “learn to code” was a twitter dunk thing.
Wasn’t saying “learn to code” to journalists a response to journalists saying “learn to code” to other industries getting laid off?
No, “upskilling” was the line from like mainstream centrist journalist. Pretending that the attacks were some populist grassroots thing from formerly laid off workers is kinda made up. It was mostly techbros or excel guys with made up job titles that were doing that.
