You're not changing the world either way, you would just be working for a more demanding guy. Fuck em.

This is my favorite response in the thread. We aren't talking about getting a job at doctors across borders or something, we just want to manipulate bits of silicon to increase our networth.

When you say "we aren't" I hope you realize you aren't speaking for everyone. Even doctors across borders probably needs an IT person. There are jobs available for less pay that are fulfilling in other ways. I know I have taken them and am better off for it.

Aside, there is a tech equivalent of MSF: Télécoms Sans Frontières

I'm pretty sure VC backed companies are by and large doing it to increase the networth of the founders, and hopefully investors.

I don't lie to myself, I know why I do this.

Yea agree, I worked at a bank during covid and helped do some work that tangentially helped relief/social security payments go through. Warmed me heart it did
