From my experience SWEs are the workers' category least likely to get involved in any kind of collective action. They're too self centered and individualistic for that.

I agree. As an EE by education, I find CS grads and SWEs to be clowns.
“What’s that? You made purpose built counting machines count? You’re welcome.”
The foot fungus eater and the latest DSL dealer can all pound sand.
I laugh at mathematically correct languages like Haskell. If mathematical correctness is a goal, may as well build it into the chip and leave a small programming environment to correct errors and give up on programming all together.

Not to mention way too well paid, comfortable and with lots to lose. Why risk a very comfortable lifestyle for some noble goal that barely concerns you unless you have tons of empathy?
Let go of the finance hallucinations and keep logistics going. Let the fiat rich choke themselves out clutching their pearls
Nihilism is not lack of a philosophical framework, it’s awareness but not acting on it
SWEs could halt the fiat economy tomorrow through collective action, but FOMO on the latest in electron state management is too strong for the geniuses lizard brains I guess
