Yes. I've been increasingly thinking that our industry might be a lost cause and it may no longer be tolerable or supportable to be a part of it.

- tastyface 11mo agoI'm aghast at our industry but have faith in open source, free software, and other community movements. Maybe it's time for me to shift my attention entirely in that direction.

- JohnFen 11mo agoIt's very hard to find a part of the industry that isn't enabling these bad actors. Also, the amount of anger from regular people toward the industry is such that I try to hide what I do for a living. That's a big red flag. Even if I worked in a "good" part, I'd still have to be quiet about it or have to constantly be on the defensive. But I don't know. I've not made a decision yet (abandoning a career is a pretty huge decision), these are just the things that have been boiling up in me for a few years now.
