Seeing more programmers take the stance of "the plagiarism machine works, so I guess we have accept it".

Contrast that with art and creative industries, where theft and plagiarism aren't new phenomenons. Unions keep these industries alive. And it's laughable to imagine telling an artist that they have to accept a plagiarist in their communities.

Easy to say "let's all be nice to each other" when you're well paid and haven't lost your job yet. Some tough lessons will be learned soon.

@protowlf People in tech are going to learn the harsh lesson that people so many other fields have learned,, that rolling over and showing your belly to the investor class and their new toys isn't going to get you a belly rub for being such a good boy. All you're going to get is more work piled on top of you or a swift kick to propel you out the door because you can't defend yourself.
