  • Am I stupid? Idk what the hell this is trying to say

    • It's not something that's unique to tech, but I read it as a joke about enshittification due to greed.

      Lots of start-up companies start out all idealistic and positive, then don't stay true to that mission as the founders age and want more (or sell out to a bigger company).

      • I honestly think delusion is a core component of startup culture. There's this energy of overly sincere rich kids who think they can make the world a better place by perpetuating a system of exploitation

        It's kinda tragic really

        • I do envy their ability to take such big risks though (often because they have money to fall back on, I assume).

          I've never been in a position to take a risk like that without jeopardizing my (and now my family's) future.

          • Oh yeah there's definitely a joy to it. I think doing crazy things when your young and inspired is core experience in life. It's a shame most people are in your position and can't rely on the support of their community to fall back on if the risk fails

      • Also as an aside, if stock points cripples your integrity then you never had any to begin with

    • The feeling of power that being in the technology sector brings changes a man.
