I'm a technologist. In my dayjob I implement digital versions of analog solutions. In my work I get frustrated by the tech. In my work I get frustrated that our own software is difficult to use and buggy. In my freetime I read about how technologists elsewhere are successful at making society uniformly worse. I also read about how other technologists buy new iPhones and throttle them so they won't doomscroll. Then I worry about the kids who just want to play cursed mobile games and watch absolute slop junk AI filth. Then they rage when they get them yanked. Then I think to myself. I'm a technologist. But technology? That is for the peons without self-control or throttled iPhone 17.
