Haven't seen the Simon Hackett slides since he spoke. Very depressing to look at through the eyes of 2019, on my FTTN connection.

Over the past decade or two I went all the presumably usual stages of having an interest in tech, from the naive entrancement through to Big Tech cynicism and burnout. I still (happily) work in tech, but having to write about the day-by-day goings on of the Big Companies And Stores du jour would certainly wear me thin these days. How do you manage to...not hate this industry enough to make a job out of talking about the day-by-day goings on? Even as opposed to just 'working in tech' (e.g. as a developer or sysadmin) instead of writing about it.
