The Guardian just goes down and down in my estimation with each click-bait article on tech. I get it, you don't like the software industry, SV, 'disruption' and have a big axe to grind.
Is it just me who's noticing it, or how do other HN regulars feel about this (not this particular article, but it is the latest one I've seen)? I'll arrive home this evening to my housemate quoting this opinion piece, I just know it. Ugh.
- irv 12y agoI dunno, it's hard not find something to agree with, particularly the rather tone deaf "let them eat soylent". I regularly read the Guardian, and it seems they are very tech positive in general, it's just the SV culture they (and it has to be said, many people outside of SV) find distasteful.
- SixSigma 12y agoThey use the word "nobody" when it means "some people". I think their sample size is far too small. It seems like they gave the page as a project to an intern and got a "will this do?" story out of it.
- ForHackernews 12y agoI think you might have it backwards. Those of us who work in tech, we're the tiny sample of oddballs living in a bubble.
- SixSigma 12y agoI don't disagree with that but that makes "nobody wants this" even less likely, they have to know about it first.
