      Speaking as a software developer, software developers should stick to their lane. There is plenty of stuff the very best software developers are stereotypically terrible at. “Programmer art” is a genuine phenomenon illustrating our lazy, half-baked efforts to create things that we are not expert at. Apparently, “Programmer politics” is another such area of non-expertise, because the tech bros ideas are a fucking stupid fantasy.

      I listened to the whole audiobook in a day - one of the best books I’ve purchased recently. As someone who has been very much into the techno-futurists over the last 15 years, I would suggest this book, along with Manu Saadia’s Trekonomics for a much needed reality-check.

        Sick! I’ve added both to my list.

        I’m almost done with “Tracers in the Dark”
