Technology is a weird space because it has some of the best individual contributors, but also many of the worst managers on earth. Now that the elites have caught on to technology being actually important, they've colonized us as a people. Just as they've colonized the space in major cities (see: San Francisco and New York) they have taken over us and our economy, and we are now under occupation. And there is a Damaso Effect going on when it comes to technology management. What's the Damaso Effect? It refers to the theologically incompetent friars often sent from Spain to the colonies, such as the Philippines. The good ones stayed on the mainland; the inept, fired ones who were sent away to die ended up in the colonies and became local authorities. You see a weird and unstable dynamic in a colony relationship where the best people of some society have to answer to the worst of another. It leads to a lot of violence as those with natural leadership talents (the best of the colonized society) refuse to subordinate to people who are, although from a more powerful nation, in all other ways inferior. That's what's happening to nerds/"techies". We're being subordinated to the worst of another kind. See, in the business/executive/finance world, the good ones who can actually sell and motivate and mentor (rather than bumbling middle managers who can't motivate shit to stink) are off writing billion-dollar private equity deals and flying around the world on private jets. It's the bad ones, mostly, who get stuck managing nerds or who end up being a mere product manager (of a product that was someone else's idea) at 32. The reason I am writing this is because it's important point out that "we" (the technology people) and "they" (the ones being priced out) have a common enemy: the useless executives and colluding VCs who are actually both (a) running up house prices while (b) destroying the technology sector.
