No programmer with integrity should be working for monopolistic companies which have shown themselves willing to crush free speech in America. Anyway, even if they pay well, they crush the small companies that are the real vehicle for programmers getting rich.

I got a recruiting email today from Amazon, and told the recruiter that there is no chance I would ever work for Amazon after what they did to Parler, and that he should also quit.

I wonder if there is a way we can spread this message to other programmers. Maybe by posting excellent resumes with WILL NOT WORK FOR COMPANIES WHICH SUPPRESS FREE SPEECH prominently on them, so recruiters get the message and relay it upward.

They don't even need to be real resumes to get the message across. Make up an excellent resume and post it with that message.

The foreigners who are being imported to work unfortunately don’t care.
Of course, it’s part of their appeal to Facebook et al in the first place.
Later, realtors selling ponzi real estate dreams like them too.
Then, car dealers like them.
Etc.
Who doesn’t like them? Most females, poor assholes.

I reckon most programmers see the so called "free speech" that got snipped as lie driven demagoguery and propaganda. If you pay attention, the employees at these FAANG companies have been calling for their leadership to do more to flag and block fake news.


Not every employee there is a programmer. I recon most of these activist cunts are not.

The programmers are important to them, the activist cunts not so much.

So it would help if they saw programmers leave because of what they have done.

No problem for them.

There's millions of them in places like India, Philippines.

I got to have lunch and a tour of Facebook when I was working in the Bay area. I wasn't all that impressed.
