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

-
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
-
thus a much more stifling and uncreative field with enormous barriers to entry
-
that's how the self-taught programmer goes the way of the backwoods lawyer
-
the union people will enable this to happen and then bemoan their movement was hijacked as if they didn't bring it about
