0% of my comment is defending the industry.

i dont like a lot of stuff going on in tech. but it is not healthy to feel personally embarrassed about stuff i had literally no input and no control over, and receive no benefit from.

I don't know I feel it is healthy to just scream out loud and be embarrassed about whole tech industry. Specially when obscene loud mouth cheerleaders of industry leave no chance to tell everyone how special they are , how much more profit sharing, salaries, perks they deserve because of their splendid work and how world would be worse if they don't keep creating endless apps, frameworks, micro services, messaging, streaming and what not.

i am angry at parts of the industry, and agree it can be healthy to express that frustration (in appropriate ways).

but i think taking on personal embarrassment for things you had zero involvement and get zero benefit from is not good.
