You assumed OP wanted to be an optimally efficient altruist - but this wasn't suggested anywhere. If you read his above reply he explains briefly why he is still in tech and elaborates a bit on his goals.

The only assumption that I made was that when erichocean said something that began with a social buzzword and ended parroting the theory that reflects the definition of that social buzzword, that he was referring to the actual theory defined as "effective altruism":
> effective altruism indicates I should stay in tech and give money to helping fisherman transition to seaweed farming
Offtopic, but since when did contextual assumption become something people weren't supposed to do?
