re: #129 Decatur Deb

For years been telling my kid, deep in the systems engineering racket, that the code monkeys should form a “guild”. He says it’s antithetical to the IT culture.

I am old enough to remember the uproar when GM acquired EDS back in the ‘80’s and all its IT employees were transferred to EDS and lost their seniority.

At one point the former GM IT workers threatened to join the UAW but then it would have meant “professional salaried” employees making common cause with blue collar workers.
