After being a freelance web developer for 12 years, I got a fulltime gig at Leadtech, Barcelona as a front-end developer. I'm the advocate of switching to Gutenberg blocks on our current WP web sites.
Call me old fashioned but there were people literally dying, being shot at and standing in the picket lines for days on and on. All this to put an end to the exploitation and to guarantee workers' basic rights such as wage, regulated working hours, sick pay, etc.
I find unpaid internship to be a spit in the faces of our ancestors who fought hard to achieve all those goals.
To be clear, I'm writing this as an entrepreneur, not as an employee.

Totally agreed. Thanks so much for your insights.
