MODERATORS
garbage collectors have a strong union, do they not?
Yes they do, and their strikes are highly effective for obvious reasons, and no mayor trying to win an election wants that egg on their face.
Or banana peel.
Java's is out of a job forever because of Oracle
Java's still a managed environment, and in either case, Rust shows it's not strictly necessary anyways. Wouldn't mind some software engineer unions, though.
Depends on location. Some places really screw those guys. It's a shitty job and should be something people can live comfortably on.
It's honestly not that shitty of a job (see my earlier comment https://programming.dev/comment/8949488 )

They lift heavy stuff and run around all day, they gotta be strong af
Running is not as extreme as you think, a lot of it is just carrying on the momentum of the truck after you jump off, other tham that it's mostly just brisk walking.
The heavy stuff depends, regulations typically impose a limit on weight but a lot of people don't follow it. You learn to use proper lifting form quite quickly though or you'll get a hernia

By that third year, were you in peak physical condition? 🤔
Funny story actually. After year 1 I was in peak condition, year 2 was normal, year 3 I gained weight. Year 1 I worked slowest and year 3 fastest. I just became way more efficient :p
Sometimes depends on area. The guys at the facility usually don't.
They're not collectors though.
