one thing that’s really kind of fucked me up about meeting & interacting with tech influencers is the level of 1) delusions of grandeur about their own importance & 2) the absolute lack of technical skills despite their being considered knowledgeable voices in their field

i am fairly technical but def not the most technical person out there. you can sniff it out pretty easily once you learn to spot the signs.

what disappoints me is that many of these folks’ platforms are largely based on the complete & total illusion that they have any beyond-basic technical knowledge at all

be careful whom you elevate
