Don’t let the AI of it all fool you — tech workers can still bring Silicon Valley to a halt.

    I know that Hacker News is a self selected sample of the most deranged tech bro sociopaths, but still it is a representative sample of Silicon Valley.

    I don’t think the workers in Silicon Valley are going to stop this. They don’t want to. I’ve spent 15 years on that site and have a pretty good sense of what their attitudes and priorities are. This ain’t it.

      The pro-union sentiment on HackerNews definitely grew in the last 5 years. Also those are tech-enthusiast tech bros, which are a small fraction of the workforce of any tech company or even of technical tech workers overall. Most people I know avoid hackernews because it’s a cesspool, regardless of their political stance.
