Similarly, I got into software because I like working with computers and solving problems for others. I see TONS of similar sentiment where people are almost joyously exclaiming “Software is solved! Sorry!!! It’s been a long time coming, you all deserved it, get fucked!”

And I can’t imagine feeling the same about any group of people. It’s been odd, to me. I’m just trying to support myself and the people in my life, and now there’s a looming fear that I can’t do that anymore… business owners are drooling over that, and other sectors are laughing.

Hard times, I guess.

Tech workers are a small subset of the population that have been able to live very privileged lives when compared to everyone else.

I think the average person lives a much harder life and has been doing so for a while. Should we really be surprised by the lack of empathy when folks in tech had little to show for the common man this whole time?
