This was certainly a cheerful piece.
Seriously though, I'm convinced the person who wrote it needs the help of a good psychiatrist and maybe some antidepressants more than they need... whatever it is they're asking for.
- codingthebeach 15y agoI'm pretty sure that's why it was put on Pastebin, which lately is turning into a sort of PostSecret of random geekery. Thanks probably in part to Lulzsec.

- tdavis 15y agoReally? I thought this was rather good prose and the core message is quite accurate. As someone neither disturbed or depressed, I found it a quite refreshing read. On the one hand you can always argue that humanity isn't doing enough "meaningful" work--and perhaps the author is really distraught about that (though I'm not one to imagine it'll ever change). On the other hand, the tech industry is undeniably filled with snake-oil salesmen, herd mentality, and general bullshit.
- BasDirks 15y agoI thought it was very well written, a rare phenomenon on the internet. Don't let perceived bitterness make _you_ bitter.
