It's partially what turned me off of getting into certain industries which heavily involve programming.
My own willingness to learn the skills was a large part, don't get me wrong lol - but I'm happier making little scripts and tools/toys for me and a few others to use to make their day to day lives easier.
I would never want to work for a larger company like a FAANG outlet, nor any other media-based tech company like game developers. Too many politics have been injected into the identity of a typical programmer, when it should just be about the code.
- tuckerman 4y agoWhile I’ll agree that things have gotten too political for my tastes, don’t you want a say in how your company operates, what products it builds, and how the products you build are used? For me it’s definitely not just about the code.
- shitlord 4y agoI would advise you to join and continue to be apathetic toward political issues. The vast majority of us don’t care. We just want a massive paycheck. Don’t let political activists prevent you from pursuing your career goals.
