Or, spare yourself the histrionics and work for one of the hundreds of SV companies that don't build megascale ad-supported services?
You’re free to label that histrionics, but I’m the one who has to face myself in the mirror.
For me it wasn’t just tech though; its all of corporate America. I just can’t take the lack of humanity, empathy, kindness. Nor can I take the useless work, endless, pointless posturing, forced “fun” activities, and the general dishonesty.
I weep for what we’ve done and the awful future that awaits. All this is probably histrionic too. But like you, I’d rather be able to look myself in the mirror, and get a good nights sleep.
