@dirtycommo I've been coding for a living for almost 20 years, and I honestly think that NOBODY should work in tech.

The tech industry under capitalism is inherently toxic.

@priryo I know you're snarking, but considering who Mary Shelley's mother was...

@starbreaker
Maybe the way to sell Frankenstein to tech bros is to describe the famous Lake Geneva weekend as the first hackfest.

@hypolite No, this is what happens when techies get some exposure to literature and history. :)

Thing is, I was a history/lit nerd before I was a techie. I only became a developer because it seemed like a good way to earn a living.

Should have become a plumber or an electrician, or done gay for pay while I was still young, slim, and pretty.

@filkerdave Kinda like a few other people we've heard of...

Steve Jobs
Mark Zuckerberg
Peter Thiel
Elon Musk
Bill Gates
Jeff Bezos

etc...

@starbreaker Pretty much.

I wouldn't mind having that kind of money but not if it means I turn into an asshole.

@filkerdave Money is power. Power corrupts. Nobody should have too much of either.

@starbreaker I'm willing to prove that I can be the exception ;)
