Techies are getting a glimpse at how other employees have always been treated all along, and they don't like it.

Maybe they'll start unionising more, back in the days as long as they had a coffee and a chair they never complained...

Oh trust me. We knew all along but we always viewed 'other employees' as lower caste deserving of the disdain they get.

One positive outcome of ai coding is that now they have been bought back down to earth with fear of god put in them.

The thing with tech products is they could just leave and start another company. No need to go through union-busting behavior.

Every discussion of Proton leadership shortcomings shows a market of users looking for a better run company.

And if it’s all AI developed moving forward, why not? There’s investors out there that would support Proton’s original engineers to fulfill Proton’s original mission, without the AI psychosis abandoning security as a top priority.
