"???Hctor Belt???rn examines Mexican and Latinx coders' personal strategies of self-making as they navigate a transnational economy of tech work. Belt???rn shows how these hackers apply concepts from the code worlds to their lived experiences, deploying batches, loose coupling, iterative processing (looping), hacking, prototyping, and full-stack development in their daily social interactions--at home, in the workplace, on the dating scene, and in their understanding of the economy, culture, and geopolitics.
