It’s planned. I’ll do something actually useful for people, work in medical/social care or maybe go back to farming (what my family has been doing since generations).

Feeding people with something else than marketing bullshit to their brain, feeding them something they can eat.

Farmers exploit workers all the time, probably even more so than the tech world. And, notably I think, the expectation has people doing backbreaking labor in the middle of a shapeless field, instead of sitting in an air conditioning room watching videos and occasionally typing things.

Well. My dude. There are definitely different kind of farming. And in my family case, it has always been a small business, growing vegetables and fruits, selling products locally and fair compensation for the worker.

Not every farmer has to be a capitalist piece of shit you know.

Well, isn't the same true for tech?

Speak for yourself. A lot of us here don't work in adtech or fintech and do something useful every day.

Like working in some FAANG? Spending tons of money into accelerating climate change, maximizing profits for stakeholders while aggressively suppressing every cooperative efforts for the workers to unionize?

Sounds great! Congrats!

you've accelerated climate change a little by posting this verbal diarrhea

[batch12]

Sounds like an admirable goal. I wish you luck.

Thanks a lot. I’ll probably earn less money, but waking up and getting out of bed every morning will be much more meaningful.
