Software engineering has no culture - shared or otherwise. It's just a job, you clock in, you clock out, it's the same prison as anything else but with the comfort of WFH. The only maybe cultural aspect is that people refuse to unionize, but that's a different issue and a result of material pressures (far too much demand for jobs gives uneven bargaining power).

Bezos, musk, gates et al were never seen as heroes by those who don't idolize capitalists and corpos to begin with, and are still seen that way by the rest.

The future is indeed tech solutions and always has been, not an-prim nonsense and tech will indeed save us (and already has from every problem tackled thus far in humanity's history, every disease etc.), but those tech solutions have to be aligned with humanity's interests, and to do that you need to remove the exploitation incentive and the way you do that is by changing economic systems to communism or anarchism.

Idk I don't find it very frustrating, it's very clean cut in my opinion.
