Most software is terrible because the existing corporate power structures, which concentrate the wealth and power necessary to sustain lasting projects, do not have any incentives to make good software. Hackers are assholes because it's our only defense against suits.

Fair enough. Same power structures are in play in other professions. Still not as many assholes. Are programmers just more woke than members of other vocations, or is it something else?
