      I'd rather a self-aware and diligent aristocracy but don't like the odds of getting either quality out of the current crop

      As a top quint techy in AI I want basic income 'cause I feel kind of guilty about the jobs I'm destroying. So, I guess (a) is closest.

      I mean techies who think that they themselves should form unions because they are not paid enough money or something

      What I've seen of "tech solidarity" is mostly about collective power to e.g. stop dark patterns; fund free software; protect net; etc

      this is more the role of professional organizations such as those that exist for doctors or lawyers

      these sorts of orgs have very thorough codes of ethics and largely exist to protect the profession for its practitioners

      whereas unions are largely about securing more favorable working conditions

      the flip side of professional orgs is they are intensely exclusionary since their role is to maintain field prestige

      so if/when such a thing happens to programming it would mean pervasive mandatory credentialism, which I despise

          it will happen sooner or later, probably after a series of high-profile software-related deaths, but I'd prefer later

          The thing is: our professionals suck. None of us know what we're doing. Pretending some have the perfect answers would not be good now.

          yea a big reason the field is as anti-credentialist as it is is because existing credentials have no predictive value

          it's a mistake to view programming as unique in comparison to other complex fields, it's just presently much freer

          so intelligence/raw talent/intuition/adaptability matter a lot more than adherence to procedure which can be trained

          this is resolved by the field having a few shocks where the wild west sort of culture/practice causes enormous loss

          then it becomes much more conservative in what is allowed, options are restricted enough to be drilled into new entrants

          and credentials emerge to certify not that the recipient is skillful but that they have learned and can follow protocol
