>I hope you all suffer like I had to suffer.
I'm sorry for the ill-minded advice you got, but not everyone in tech is an asshole.
By definition a very small minority has Ivy-league, trust fund-brat backgrounds. There are people from all walks of life, many like yours, and not few that would think _you_ are spoiled and entitled - I've seen developers from Gaza posting on HN, for instance. Give that a thought before wishing suffering for all.
- gendv 4y ago> but not everyone in tech is an asshole. But the evidence says otherwise. Broken hiring, big egos, bad software. This field is a mess and the people made it like this.
- wyclif 4y agoI formerly worked for a FAANG, but I come from quite humble circumstances: I grew up on a small farm in Pennsylvania. Also, I've been in this industry for years but I've never "vested and rested." The vast majority of people in tech are working for a salary and benefits.
