> the romance of technology close. That's the thing, after 15 years of doing this as a job (and after a few illuminating books on the subject) I found out that there's not that much "romance" about this industry, and more than that, I often ask myself "are we the baddies?" (like in the famous YT video [1]). For my current peace of mind it helps that my present job is nothing big, nothing that wants "to change the world" through technology (presumably for the worst).
