Interesting how much tech scene has a hero complex. Always believing we can change the world so easy.
Why do other professions not have the same hero complex?
- hatenberg 2y agoDoctors sure do. But then again, saving life’s vs “connecting the world”
- mortb 2y agoTeachers sare another example. I think many of us actually want to work for a bigger cause. Its just that the system is so to say rigged so that your attention flows in the direction of making money instead of trying to save the world. What doctor or teacher does teh best job? The one who only looks at the paycheck or someone who feels responsible?
- imjonse 2y agoIt is one of the few professions where at least in theory you can create something that gets used by millions, with relatively few resources required. Few other professions are like this (being a celebrity, politician, power broker) and those require a lot more luck/work to get there.
- constantcrying 2y agoIt isn't "the tech scene". It is particularly programmers who suffer from that complex. To be honest it is very peculiar and not something you find even in closely related areas, such as engineering.
