But “techies” mostly aren’t the CEO-types who try to do all this disruption. They’re mostly developers who like to get paid to do semi-interesting work. The messianic stuff is largely confined to a small, loud group, I think.
- eecsninja 7y agoThis is exactly it. There's a lot of apex fallacy going on in the discussion of tech. Most of us in tech don't have any say in the direction of the industry. Many of the rank and file workers would actually prefer to live someplace cheaper like Seattle, but it's the leadership of the tech industry (VCs, execs, etc) that have been slow to geographically diversify the industry. There's too much blaming of all techies for the actions of the people at the top of the tech hierarchy.
