A total crash would scare the money away but leave all the hardware and software behind
Comment on I'm an American software developer and the "broligarchs" don't speak for me - ratfactor
magic_smoke@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 weeks agoBit of an unhinged and unreasonable nerd rant but here it goes:
The second dot com boom in the 2010s ruined us. Like holy shit. As someone younger looking down the line, living in tech bro culture, but exposed to the likes of the jargon file, y combinatorial and their venture capitalists literally ruined hacker culture.
We used to have a thriving culture that cherished freedom, real freedom, not freedom for the rich. What happened to the culture that spawned Windows buyback day? What of the dream that networked freedom would one day break the chains of economic heirarchy?
Like holy fucking shit. If you’re not here for the love of the machine stop touching a compiler or better yet go loose your fucking hands.

Marching orders if I ever saw some. Drop a neutron bomb on the investors class. I think a good anti-AI FUD campaign might get off the hook. Something good enough to crash every silicon valley bank!

Minor note: Jargon file is much older than any of that (and most of us).

They killed me with an IPO. How weird is that?
