Over the years, I've heard many idealistic young (and no-so-much) tech folk say, after accepting roles at Microsoft or other predatory tech corporates, that they were going to "change the corporation from the inside". Initially, I thought that 'infiltration narrative' had some merit. 20 years later, however, I've seen how that's worked out for those folks. A couple quit & dropped out of tech entirely, but most stayed. And they had their idealistic edges knocked off by 'the machine'... 1/2
