I had the insight one day that the past 20 years of tech have been fueled by massive doses of amphetamines, and seen under these lens a lot of products, choices and what has risen to popularity make a lot of sense. Too bad I don’t take my ADHD prescription anymore and I am now utterly alienated by the work hard not smart crowd.
