Some tech workers questioned whether UPS drivers deserved high pay — others jumped in to note the importance of the jobs and harsh working conditions.

Firstly hilarious that BI is basically just posting message board comments as news.

But also those comments are expectedly hideous.

    Tbf a lot of the value in tech is not created by software Devs. Take uber for example, comparing drivers to Devs, its pretty clear that one side of that equation is getting a hell of a lot more of the surplus value created.

      Yeah, it’s nowhere near evenly distributed, but if the company didn’t get more value out of the devs than it was paying them, then it wouldn’t have those devs.
