That’s actually quite epic. Good on you dude! I have have developed some similar concers except I’m not a longtime software developer. I’m just comfortable with coding. Personally I would love working open-source or in a worker coop (though both seem like a kind of big ask locally) and my recent development of a leftist political orientation has given me an appetite for direct action. Though theres basically no anarchists or libertarians locally so I am interestingly enough working with ML’s. I don’t know how long this will satisfy me. I try not talking too much about “democratic” centeralism or lenin when I’m with them because enough those are red flags for me. (pun not intended)
for a moment there i couldn’t tell if ml stood for marxist/leninist like it in for lemmy.ml or if it mean machine learning. lol
and absolutely stay away FAR away from conversations about politics. my experience has taught me that highly placed/status-ed software engineers tend to be conservative (probably because of the money) and are perpetually on the hunt for dissident views to “protect” their “people” from “threats” and they will use their position to put you on a leash if they think you don’t fit in.
