Big Tech Killed the Golden Age of Programming

When you pull a large portion of people that would normally be doing the following jobs:

  * maintenance on buildings
  * growing corn
  * building homes
  * making tacos at taco bell
  * roll your own guess

And make them have job titles like "Head of Equity" or "People Partner Team Member" or "roll your own here too" and give them a 100k-200k+ salary, then everyone making Corn, Tacos, Homes are going to demand more money because why work at Taco Bell if you can literally get a job in Big Tech?

It really fucked up our system, our expectations for salary, the cost of all goods really. We actually need deflation so that people can afford homes. We need to bankrupt companies that just buy up all the homes.

We also need to get our heads on straight about work. We should expect to all being doing hard fucking work. There shouldn't be a lot of meetings. That's something that really surprised me about 2020-2024 - the meetings were out of fucking control.

Done. Now get off HN and get to work.
