well a lot of professionals map cleanly to merchant class, possibly with some variation (corporate lawyer yes, prosecuting attorney no), and in the Western usage are correctly called bourgeoisie. Coders are definitely bourgeoisie but what is the character of the work itself?

there's too much confounding factors there to resolve it like that. it's not about caste in their case. it's a lot of intra-class clique rivalries.

I'm feeling uncomfortably NRx talking about caste like this. Much sympathy for my Hindu friends who aren't thinking about it purely as an intellectual exercise.

was a Moldbug reference, and isn't even worth 'splaining because for anyone not fucking asleep at the wheel it's obvious enough to notice in which ways the American underclass resembles other historical underclasses.

the more relevant and interesting Moldbug idea is "the cathedral" which is certainly where journos place themselves and feel VERY kerfuffled as coders and tech platforms are tearing down the walls of their edifice.
