The article summarizes *Canaries in the Code Mine*, an ethnographic study of contemporary tech work based on interviews with 120 software developers in New York City. The book highlights how precarity—traditionally associated with gig or low-wage labor—is increasingly affecting highly skilled software developers, challenging the notion of their job security and prestige. It examines how structural inequalities related to gender, race, and age intersect with workplace cultures and the fast-paced demands of continuous learning, while critiquing the tech industry's meritocratic ideals that obscure systemic biases. The study also addresses organizational stratification within companies and explores the cultural barriers to collective labor action, ultimately calling for greater attention to the lived experiences of tech workers amid ongoing industry transformations.
