I can tell you why people hate tech... becuase so much of it is built poorly and causes nothing but frustration for people. These people are stuck on calls with robots when they need help, or angry that they lost a password and need to prove their identity, they are irritated by broken, ad riddled websites.
I used to think I'd be part of the solution... but these days it really feels like nobody in the industry is willing to admit how bad it is.
- PyWoody 2y agoI agree with everything you're saying but I'm referring specifically towards people's hatred towards tech workers. Maybe it's just because I live in a small town on the East Coast but it's brutal out here in the sticks. It's gotten to the point where if someone asks what I do for work, I just say "computer stuff" and wave my hands around like I'm typing on an imaginary keyboard. It's vague and odd enough that there aren't any follow-ups or rebuffs.
- nixpulvis 2y agoI do the same thing out here on the west coast if I'm at a bar or whatever. But I think the hatred would be less if the average person actually felt like we were providing value proportional to our salaries, not just having salaries proportional to our intelligence. They also do not accurately understand the cost of keeping things running, which is a problem not isolated to tech. EDIT: wow I'm a special kind of dyslexic tonight. Got east and west mixed up. I live in Boston roflmao. I was picturing you living in northern cali or something >.<
