Good thread by @danilo about arriving in tech in the early 2010s only to find the scene overweighted with software CEOs excitedly exploiting externalities as a business model: https://hachyderm.io/@danilo/111551998357258259He begins:"When I got to San Francisco in 2010, I really wanted to do it allBuild a startup, create change through technology.But the more I learned of the culture, the less I wanted to succeed according to its rubric. The turning point for me was Airbnb"

@clive @danilo I'm a little bit older but this story resonates with me and my career quite a bit.

@clive @danilo I can really relate to this. I came to the IT industry hoping for both personal and societal liberation. Personally, it has been very good to me. (I never tried in earnest to become a capitalist, only a well-paid worker.) Societally ... well.
