Would software engineers ever unionise in future, if the industry keeps getting shit every year due to AI and layoffs?

    My personal bet would be no. They’ll automate themselves away and slovenly play the corporate game before unionising. As a collective that is. Perhaps there’s lots to say about the culture of the profession, but I suspect it’s just too childish and spoilt.

      I was going to say, the Silicon Valley corporate game feels too individualistic for its players to consider unionisation
