> The tech I build protects well-being and promotes human flourishing. Tech should never exploit weaknesses no matter how well intentioned. That's from the "values" section of the website under the "Tech as a tool" subsection. How does working for Stripe fit with this value? As a mere user of "tech", and a concerned observer of what I perceive to be its negative effects on society around me the last 5-10 years, it feels impossible to deny that the main drivers of the tech space haven't been "protecting well-being" and "promoting human flourishing", rather the opposite, and often rather brutally. The article leaves the question unanswered of what actually led to the depression, and I'm left wondering if the author explored that question specifically. Perhaps Stripe aren't building technology that promotes human flourishing, and perhaps the author's core values were clashing with the reality of a modern tech company.
