Software Labour and Alienation
Here I provide sketches of parallels between Marx’s theory of alienation and software world. Obviously we have fine-grained classes of:
- engineers
- technical support
- IT stuff
- architects
- managers
- …
The notion of software factory also brings its share too. I guess the current software work place standards would be seen as nightmarish conditions to future generations of software engineers in 22nd century.
To finish this topic with a joke: I remember one manager in one of my previous companies told me not to say “delete Manager [object]” during presentation of system architecture.
