it's known in my circles too, but it's one of those words known as a cringe-inducer. like 'broligarchy' or 'trad'.

but going off of other social trends like this that probably means it's mega popular and about to be the next over-used phrases across the universe.

Adding to the ancedata, it’s used in my circles primarily by non techie people and as a proxy for bosses using them to replace workers.

“Digital scab” would be synonymous with the way they use it

I only know "trad" in the climbing sense - what's the new slang meaning?
