Not every topic on HN needs a contrarian's hot take.

Well that wasn’t very nice.

Do you have anything to say other than, “I don’t need to hear what you have to say”?

I think this repartee encapsulates a huge frustration with the tech sector:

> op (as legacy business): BAU

> you (as tech): disrupt! disrupt! disrupt!

> me: no thank you; that's not necessary

> you (as tech): stop being mean!

Not wanting your "disruption" is not being un-nice. Your disruption was not asked for in the first place. Forcing it (Uber, Doge, et. al.) on marketplaces, often illegally, and vacuuming it up the income ladder to the already-wealthy IS the "not nice" thing.

Ah, I think I understand - this isn't about me... this is about a whole lot more than me.

You just see me as a target to displace that onto. I'm the representative for what you believe is wrong with tech.
