This is a Prime example of why tech workers are despised outside of our bubble.

  The bubble of tech workers is only equaled by the bubble of anti-tech activists. Most people don't have a stronger opinion about what you do than you do about whatever random thing they do.

    I'm sure bankers believe the same thing about themselves.

      Except there's survey data about this, and tech companies are the most respected and banks are the least: https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/economy/wells-fargo-is-least-respected-company-in-america--even-less-than-big-tobacco/2017/06/05/b59fb7a4-49ee-11e7-a186-60c031eab644_story.html?noredirect=on&utm_term=.70f1007f1985 https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/economy/wells-fargo-...

        Respecting Alphabet, Apple, and Amazon as companies is very different from respecting tech workers as a whole.

          At least it’s some sort of data and not just a bunch of people in a bubble talking about how people perceive their bubble as though participating in the bubble doesn’t obviously influence how they view outside perception of the bubble.

    Most people don't have a strong opinion about writing software. They do have strong opinions about how tech companies think they can bypass the law and "disrupt" things.
