Hello y’all. I’ve been trying to understand the software development industry from a societal POV but most sources I find have this liberal corporate bootlicking theme or don’t have much hard data. Search engines provide few good sources 🤔

In specific I would like to see some research in the self-assessment of bullshit job status in the industry or a similar analysis. In my anecdotal experience a gigantic portion of jobs I’ve seen provide basically no benefit to society (but pay well I guess), and I would like to check if this belief of mine holds up scientifically.

Anybody know any places to start?
