That's not why I got into software development. I got into it to make money. I think most people in Silicon Valley these days are the same mentality. How else could you tolerate the level of abuse you experience in the workplace and how little time you get to really dig on that particular aspect of the job?
This is a website that is catered to YC/Silicon Valley. My perspective is going to be common here.
- codr7 2y agoI guess there were always two kinds, Bill Gates doesn't strike me as a person who loves technology. Compared to, say Dennis Ritchie or Wozniak. I'm firmly in the problem solver/hacker/artist camp. Which I guess is why we're more concerned about the current direction. Because we value those aspects more than anything; consider them essential to creating great software/technology, to staying human; and that's exactly what GenAI takes away. I see how not giving a crap about anything but money means you don't see many problems with GenAI.
