    Have you noticed that people who work in tech tend to be less excited about cool new flashy tech developments than the average person?

    It’s similar to how people who have worked in fast food aren’t quite as keen on eating out than the average person.

    Same as watching your co-worker who hasn’t washed his hands after his last shit collect the pieces of a burger that dropped on the dirty floor to sell them to a customer isn’t exactly appetizing, knowing what goes on behind the scenes with tech developments doesn’t really get you on board for that either.

      I think it’s because we get excited super early, and by the time it goes mainstream we’re tired of seeing it shoved into every place it doesn’t belong

      And it’s probably still not being used for what we looked forward to about it
