IT workers aren’t “Tech Bros”. Real Tech Bros are usually people with zero knowledge trying to profit from IT workers. They use them to build their scams.
Just to add to your point, statistically tech workers are disproportionately democrat voters. I’m not sure about higher ups, but it would surprise me if they were disproportionately pro-trump
There is already a strong “I did this on my own” and “i make enough money to not need a union” sentiment in IT as an industry. Plenty of people that are “experts in one thing, so I must be an expert in everything.” It is a field that favors autodidacts, so these myths self reinforce very easily.
The majority are left leaning, but it’s not an overwhelming majority. Maybe 60/40. This policy will fuck conservative IT people, for sure.
I am a staff engineer (contractor), most of us are not adverse to unionization. But we need a massive labor movement to cling onto it seems. The spark doesn’t appear like it will happen within us, gotta be external by my view of it. The engineer today is just not often politically aware or active because of the stress of the workplace environment
yes i agree that the problem with people believing anything they see is that they might not have proper guidance. it’s okay to believe everything you see, so long as you only see the right things. this is why it’s okay to believe anything you hear from donald trump, but not okay to believe anything you see on the internet.

Not on H1B they not.
(as they can’t even vote)
I wouldn’t be surprised if they flipped when the money started rolling in. My guess is:
Democrat -> “Independent” Libertarian voting Republican -> “Fiscally conservative” Republican

I feel personally attacked.
IT is just DIY with fewer letters. Even the “clouds” just add their own layers for you to deal with.

Is this helping you lead a meaningful life?
Wow reading through your comments is a wild ride 😆
Though you’re gonna have to make it a little less obvious if you want people to keep buying your facade. Have a good new year friend, cheers!
Awww, he got banned and everything removed. I missed out on the wild ride.
Okay boomer
