GOOD JOB Mario, another POWERful TELEPORT!

We’re witnessing an interesting schism in the tech world. In the scale of it I can’t think of much similar beyond the conflicts over the meaning of open source and GNU, but there at least actors on either side had intentions rooted in things that weren’t mere self-interest. But here, one side is mostly wannabe prophets of and profiteers off their own pet version of digital hypercapitalist scarcity. Unfortunately, these are the assholes who are well-entrenched at the tops of most tech companies now, as the programmers and engineers who don’t want to partake in the outright pandering and overselling of the libertarian wet dreams which are most companies’ growth strategies primarily content themselves doing the less trendy development, which sees them lower down in the hierarchy.

Its ability to give these isolated and unhappy men something to connect and bond with one another over, and envision a future with, helps give the whole community this self-propelling momentum. Unfortunately, given the size of their wealth, their positions in management hierarchies and contacts with venture capital, and the loudness of their personalities, they’re dragging a lot of the tech industry with them. Yet the more they pull, the greater the tension with the other computer boys who hate their guts.
