That's something all technology people need to keep in mind all the time, even in their "home" culture, which many seem to totally fail at. You really need to respect people who are different than you, and not just in some politicized identity politics sense.
IMHO, it seems very easy for technology people to create for themselves a weird subculture and lose sight of how things are outside that subculture, let alone something truly foreign like an undeveloped nation.
I think we saw that a lot with cryptocurrency.
