What does "Worker" mean in the Software Economy?

It means nothing like it meant during the Industrial Era, parts of which are still with us today.

Amazon, for example, sells goods from its warehouses, using robots and people it treats as robots. They work hard and are paid poorly.

At the same time, it hires Software Developers to do DevOps (it invented this occupational specialty) and pays them well. Those higher-ups on the food chain get paid more.

If asked about its workers, it points to the later. An overall model clearly derived from Industrialization and Slavery.

In fact, the Model-View-Controller Pattern is now common. With the Model containing all the Business logic. The View is what the User sees and responds to.

The Worker is in the middle of this.
