"I fight for the user" has been lurking in the hindbrains of so many tech workers since the Tron years, somehow nestling comfortably alongside of the idea that "I don't need a union, I'm a temporarily embarrassed founder."

Oof. I don't like this sentence, because I'm in it.

I feel like the entire US engineering industry is in it. My Swedish and German colleagues all have unions. One of my coworkers tried explaining to a Swede the other day how we have the "right to work" ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ I was so embarrassed for him.
