> rather that the press constantly criticizes tech
Clearly we're consuming different types of media, because on my estimation tech gets let off fairly light relative to the damage we cause.
As practitioners, we're not entitled to get angry about being criticised for the damage we cause at least until we've stopped it.
- yunohn 1y agoI’m not a big fan of online performative self-hate and classic elite-liberal virtue signaling, so maybe this article and these replies are not for me.
- xmodem 1y agoIf I have to be a self-hater to be able to read an article that's critical of me and the industry I'm in, and not be offended by it, then I guess that makes me a self-hater.
- hotmeals 1y ago>online performative self-hate and classic elite-liberal virtue signaling The "all opinions I don't like are not held honestly, it's a trick" meme is very tiring. In respect to your original point, no this isn't some unique critique that singles out SV. The SV disruptor is just a shorthand for the rich and landed that will always be opposed to new housing. This could be drop-in replaced with a mid-career NYC finance bro, or successful Texan oil & gas professional, just exchange some things for prayer and bootstraps. They are the same because in all those cases their wealth (real o perceived potential) depends in housing value go only up.
