And so what if it is? With the rate that tech is going to be putting people out of jobs, most folks are going to have shit for options. Let the privileged folks have their fun, so the unprivileged can eat and not worry so much.

Because it is too easy to degenerate into evil types using accusations to snipe at competitors, or other fuckery. As another comment notes, accusations need evidence and solid claims. I have neither... I don't know the super deep inter

These people need to be publicly named and shamed, enough to show up as a huge black eye in their Google/due diligence results. I have suffered under a few such C-levels and their incompetence is maddening. It is hard not to see the C-

All these folks trying to "pay their bills" have laid waste to a verdant field of possibility. Everything nice that they offer eventually gets changed or taken away. Yes, I'm bitter. We could have a much better world, one tha

This atrocious attitude is absolutely why software is such a hellscape of shitty UI and lack of features. Normies should be eating our table scraps, not dictating how the software is written. Normies learned how to drive a car. They can lea
