We’ve done plenty to shoot ourselves in the foot broadcasting how cushy things are for us to people who had family die on oil rigs, and in other messy industries that provide social media companies the real resources they need.
Your comments are the epitome of entitled first world tech worker gibberish.
Self policing is a powerful tool for self improvement. Go reflect on asking people here to see the “poetry” in their livelihood being usurped by VC backed technology which coincidentally help’s guarantee your employment and rather trashes the environment, eh?
Other themes include finding run of the mill political speak as banal, despite such memes being how the vast majority of the population understands the world, as if you’re the High Mind we should all be soothed by; personally you’re just another over privileged first worlder to me shrug one of billions on Earth. The figurative identity you feel yourself to be is shrug to me. The energy SV projects to everyone else.
I get the difference between theory backed by evidence versus spoken traditions of politics, but it’s not unreasonable to describe some of your comments as tone deaf, lacking empathy for those made anxious by the rapid economic and social change, from your Ycombinator backed ivory tower.
The audience is here to rescue your figurative identity though by burying reasonable takes on your past comments about them. You should be thankful you have yourself such a self loathing flock.
You’re one particle among billions. Whether the rest of us are titillating you correctly is not on us. It’s on you to find a more titillating routine. Having moved from CE, to general SWE, and into ML backed biology research, if I held onto one role for so long I’d question if I am responsible for coloring my view in the same shade of grey.
He might consider seeking novel to him work routines rather than complain everyone else is prosaic. I quit treating systems like pets a while ago, while he tends the same flock.
If everyone else’s figurative identity can be a target why not PG, dang, etc.
“Thanks” for being over educated systems admins like many of us, I guess?
Less space than a Nomad? Lame.
…if I got a seed round for every bad tech take by “experts”, I’d be richer than 100% of the 1%.
At the end of the day humans will still be here to laugh off and fix the bad results. It’s not like ChatGPT is going around literally lobotomizing people.
This crowd might consider going outside more and letting the robots work. It gets very “it’s hard to get a worker to listen when an workers paycheck is on the line.”
Tech people seem to have decided their prior experience with inferior tech is creates an immutable truth regarding what society in the aggregate will accept. We accepted the original iPhone, which is a laughable thing relative to modern phones.
Software engineers in particular seem to live in some emotional void where their leetcode skills and cloud system’s knowledge produce all of existence. It’s exhausting. Bring on the implosion of tech work.
