The IT industry should really unionise a bit more. Not so much for pay rises (the pay is good) but to push through more humane working conditions. There's a high burnout rate in that industry. People's brains are milked and toasted.
The early software industry was nerds having a blast but the way it works these days, most workplaces for programmers are software factories. Contractor shops where the work is often meaningless and repetitive. If you're a programmer and you don't have a job like that, you're among the lucky ones, and should remain quiet.
