What's awesome about tech is that the vast majority of what I'm paid to do loses rich people money. I can often even tell in advance that's what'll happen. After 20 years in this career I'm honestly not sure if the realized value of my work product is even in the black, LOL.
"I make rich people poorer" is kinda a fun reframing of "I make stuff that gets thrown away without ever doing any good."
- ryandrake 2y agoWow, talk about life goals! Now I'm curious! I'd love to know any specifics that you feel like sharing. As someone in the usual "make shareholders even richer" industry, I can't think of a more noble goal than actually taking the rich down a few rungs.
- alabastervlog 2y agoStartups with mediocre ideas and execution, large companies launching initiatives that are crazy-expensive and probably not helpful, agencies taking projects from those two categories.
- robertlagrant 2y agoAnything that improves normal people's lives is probably more noble than trying to take money from rich people.
