It’s all shit. Always has been. Always will be. The luxury of thinking otherwise is a post-war economic boom phenomenon. We’re now reverting to what has always been: people screwing one another over scrambling to get their piece of the pie. I used to think about living a well-balanced life — the middle class life — but that’s akin to thinking you can make a long career out of just being a dev for the rest of your life during ZIRP: naive. All the market inefficiencies that allowed tech to boom have been snuffed out. All the market inefficiencies that allowed people to live simple, fulfilling lives are gone. You now have to actually play the game, or one day you’ll find you’re a replaceable commodity that’s past its warranty. Rally together people that share your values and go grab your piece to build something that actually enlivens you. To do otherwise is just shirking responsibility.
