outside of this construct from the person you're responding to; programmers are the probably the most modern adaptation of labor aristocracy.

this means that, yes, they're working class and are just and interdependent like everyone else is in the working class; but they don't align themselves with the working class and instead chose to align themselves with the ruling class.

i think that's why the person you're responding to classifies them a "first estate" because the french revolution had these estates and this person is trying to draw a parallel to that revolution.
