Unions often create barriers to new people entering a field and driving wages down. This is an issue for many devs, like me, because I don’t have a degree, I’m self taught and freelance- I’m worried I’d be forced out of the field or into more formal employment by licensing or other requirements. Neither of which I want.

Yeah every time I’ve ever looked into it there’s always someone talking about “protecting the field from amateurs”. And usually that means protecting the field from people who don’t have a degree.
I actually do have a degree but it’s in forensics. I just let them fill the blank in for themselves and let them think it’s digital forensics.

Which I really don’t get, because to my knowledge no disproportionate amount of problems has been caused by self-taught devs.
It really feels more like either elitism or wanting to protect wages.

Snowflake? Why are mentally disabled folks ok to make fun of? They didn’t pick it or do it, and it has nothing to do with good or bad politics.
Make fun of things people choose to do. Not shit they were born with.

Definition of removed- a person affected with intellectual disability
I stand by what I said. Sorry I ruffled your jimmies. Not sorry I used the word. You imply my insulting mentally disabled people. I’m not.
