       something i dont think a lot of tech workers have figured out yet: the tech industry isn’t in the business of making tech products anymore. they’re a banking/advertising empire with tech as a front business.

       working at a FAANG company used to be this impressive thing because these companies were ostensibly doing all the most exciting innovation and hiring all the best software people to make it happen.i dunno if that was ever actually true but it certainly hasn’t been true for years. these companies are not doing anything impressive or innovative in tech, they’re solely in the business of making money.

       which is to say, my reaction to someone citing the chief engineer at google is not “wow what an impressive credential” but more along the lines of “wow that is probably someone who is pretty good at math and also has their head so far up their own ass it came out their mouth and then right back up their butt again”

       what impressive engineering has google done recently? what is meant to impress me about being chief engineer there? we’ve all watched every product they make get worse at everything.
