unions get undermined with politicans and ideological hardliners which want to use their positions to get power and money.
I dont wanna be a part of unions like the Teamsters. In the USA the mafia had or has influence on the unions.
Press F1 for help or google it.

I used to work at a paper mill as a developer - salaried, not hourly/union.
There were two unions: paper makers and maintenance; over time, the maintenance union joined with a larger union and became a local chapter - they gave up their autonomy.
Before I left the paper mill, the union representing the maintenance employees had come under the banner of the Teamsters. So... someone sitting in Chicago had to review the offer and approve it BEFORE the people on site in South Carolina could even see it to determine if they liked it or not.
So... no, I have less than no desire to part of a union. As a professional, I choose to negotiate my own package.

A programmer's union would probably be coded in an open source blockchain with a "codedollar" cryptocurrency and forked thousands of times because everyone thinks they have a better contract.

The new artificial intelligence technology under development in Microsoft’s research labs is programmed to pay close attention to individual words when generating images from caption-like text descriptions. "I want you to draw me like one of your French girls."

I find security much more important than speed. We need invulnerable software systems, and we need them today, even if they are ten times slower than our current systems. Tomorrow we can start working on making them faster. If everything wasn't getting hacked, then what news could I post?
"Ten years after the launch of qmail 1.0, and at a time when more than a million of the Internet’s SMTP servers ran either qmail or netqmail, only four known bugs had been found in the qmail 1.0 releases, and no security issues."

|
|
|
|
The best path to secure code is to ensure nobody has even heard of it, let alone used it.
|
|
|
|
|
I think qmail has succeeded there (although I've never looked for an SMTP server)

Large majority of businesses are failing to keep track of passwords efficiently, leading to potential security risks, report says. There's a problem with sticky notes on the monitor?

At the dawn of the millennium, somewhere in the depths of a company contracted by the United States Navy, D. Richard Hipp designed SQLite so that you could finally stick a database inside an application. Ignore the fact he's trying to sell you a competitive product. I'm sure that's just a coincidence.

I have no dislike for writing SQL and stored procedures at all. SQL Management Studio has auto completion and it's pretty comfy. And if things don't work as you expect you can debug it inside SQL management studio too, good luck doing that with your ORM. Performance is great too.
For basic CRUD access I've written my own stored procedures that generate CRUD stored procedures (in SQL you can query table and column metadata and generate output based on that), so for 90% of the things I need I can generate it, and the other 10% I can generate it and tweak to my needs.
