@goatsarah @FeralRobots I was 16 when I first used the internet in the mid-90s. I'd already been programming since I was a little kid with a C64, and it felt like the future was going to be great. I ended up spending most of my career as a CS teacher before transitioning back into industry a year ago. I like my job as a perfectly boring industrial embedded dev, but tech in general feels like a bleak Misery Optimizer.
If there's a full-scale tech backlash, the industry deserves it.
