About Coders Unite!

If you're not against us, you're with us!

At Coders Unite!, we believe that the tech industry thrives when its workers thrive. Yet too often, developers, engineers, and digital creators face systemic exploitation: unpaid overtime ("crunch culture"), wage suppression, surveillance-driven productivity metrics, and the erosion of creative autonomy. We’re building a new kind of collective—part guild, part community, part movement—to fight wage theft, attention theft, and the isolation of modern tech work.

Our Mission

We exist to:

• Help Coders
  • Our primary goal is to help you be successful.
  • We want you to grow in your career, lead happy fulfilling lives.
  • Improve the world you live in and have a comfortable existence.
• Unite Coders We unite coders to negotiate better conditions, share contract templates, and amplify collective demands.
• Reclaim Our Time & Focus
  We provide resources to combat "attention theft"—the endless meetings, surveillance tools, and burnout-inducing workflows that hijack productivity.
• Find Great Jobs We help coders find great companies to work for where they are valued, well compensated, and can find meaning and value in their work.

What We Offer

Guild-Style Mentorship

• Skill-Swap Networks: Pair with senior developers for career guidance or mentor juniors in your expertise.
• Anti-Exploitation Workshops: Learn to spot predatory NDAs, non-compete traps, and IP grabs.
• Mental Health Allies: Connect with peers who understand tech’s unique stressors.
• Self Advertisement Workshops: Help get your first website published. Clean up that LinkedIn profile and really showcase your code and skills!

Training for Resistance

• Code for Collective Good: Build tools to crowdsource wage data, track unpaid overtime, and visualize workplace equity.
• Negotiation Bootcamps: Master salary talks, remote work boundaries, and project-scoping to prevent scope creep.
• Open-Source Advocacy: Promote projects that decentralize tech power structures.

Community Defense

• Local Pods: Join city-based groups for in-person coworking sessions and solidarity actions.
• Discord Vigilance: Our bots flag job postings with red flags (e.g., "rockstar ninja" roles offering below-market pay).
• Strike Support: While we don’t organize strikes, we provide mutual aid funds for workers in labor disputes.

Honest Job Engines

• We’re dismantling the toxic hiring culture of fake listings and bait-and-switch tactics.
• Our job board combines community vigilance with hard transparency requirements to protect coders.
• We rate employers to help identify and punish exploitative companies.

Wage Transparency Engine

• Anonymous Salary Database: Filter by role, location, and company size. See what others actually earn.
• Equity Calculators: Discover if you’re underpaid compared to peers with your stack and experience.
• Freelancer Rate Cards: Collaborative pricing guides to undercut race-to-the-bottom gig platforms.

Why Coders Unite?

Tech workers built the digital world—but too often, the value we create rarely returns to us. Profit-driven metrics pit us against each other while executives hoard the value we create. By uniting as a guild, we:

• Turn isolated grievances into systemic change
• Make the 1% pay their 1%.
• Replace competitive secrecy with collaborative transparency
• Transform "lone wolf" coding culture into lasting community
