Well, I'd argue tech people have a unique perspective on tech: we've used it the longest and understand it better than most people.
I for one have a fundamental creed from using the internet since the 1980s and computers since the 1970s:
99% of a all problems best solved without technology and if your first go-to is a technology solution, you are an idiot, a shitty engineer and questionable as a solution creator.
Why? Because I've seen technologies come and go all bleating the same promises that are never kept. And if you truly examine the problems they are trying to address, you see most of the time that the question is wrong or the answer is ill-posed. Most peoples are solvable by communication between humans in a negotiated fashion. These are also the cheapest and fastest solutions. The details of what negotiation means are pretty wide open, but still technology should NEVER be your first, second, third or fifth solution proposal!
