Hanging out on meatspaces
A-list coders are 21st C++ Rock Gods
their skills undemocratisable
nor easily attained.
They can make or break
Obama’s healthcare plans
more than Republicans
shutting down Congress.
They picture-frame,
package and pedestal
an increasing majority
of culture and experience –
yet are perceived
like broadcast engineers –
clever functionals,
technicians,
not artists, not renegades.
Still
knowing, it’s them
who are in the driving seat
this last decade –
next to the Gods in finance.
