I think its a bit much to say that people being assholes is the dark side that no one talks about. Truthfully, there aren't a lot of dark sides to software that no one talks about. The dark sides I can think of off the top of my head: misogyny; we consider ourselves successful if we put entire industries out of work; ageism; classism; the myth of the meritocracy; neoliberalism; creation of a private surveillance society; overly dramatic HN headlines; probably more I'll think of in the next five minutes.
The thing is, all of these, with the exception of that last one, are talked about quite a bit.
