I think my reasons for leaving conventional tech were (1) lack of confidence in the future of the industry (2) layoffs risk (3) not wanting to be around assholes
All 3 are just going to get much much worse
but also just the overwhelming empty feeling of.. they're not even pretending to change the world anymore, most companies are actively harming the world. ;/
@skinnylatte I think a deep mistake was made when three things happened:
1) Framing using tech for good should be perceived as bullshit
2) A sentiment that people working in tech were just trying to make it in capitalism and we shouldn’t be critical
3) A rising sentiment that all tech is evil
The combination of the three made the vast majority of people stop trying, stop caring, and treat all tech jobs equally as evil as each other, regardless of the reality that that’s of course stupid.
@djcapelis i think all of that has brought us to 4. which is, a lot of jobs and stuff in tech are now really just tools of financial engineering.
nothing makes sense anymore. 'company is doing great? layoffs!'
@skinnylatte absolutely.
