IT’S ALL MEDIOCRE DIME-A-DOZEN COMPLETELY AND UTTERLY USELESS APPS CHARGING $500/MO FOR GLORIFIED SPREADSHEETS, I HATE THESE FUCKING BILLBOARDS
DON’T THESE TECHBROS REALIZE THEY’RE JUST ANOTHER FORGETTABLE NOBODY AND NOT THE NEXT JOBS-LIKE GRIFTER?
SHOULD I START GRIFTING THESE TECHBRO ASSHOLES WITH JANKY PAYROLL SOFTWARE? SHOVELS IN A GOLD RUSH ETC ETC
billboards are illegal in Vermont, it’s immediately noticeable when you drive into the state
I HATE BAY AREA
ADVERTISINGsorry it was an amazing place but tech killed it, sucked it dry, and is now fleeing the scene and nobody’s gonna stop 'em
Honestly, calling it “tech” is a bit of an insult to the idea of tech. Sure, there are some good examples in San Francisco, like Pixar. Ed Catmull is a genius who invented 3d animation, that’s technology. Google at the very least helped shape the internet as we know it today, and Apple can at least be called a real competitor to Microsoft for desktops (although Linux is objectively superior).
Now look at where we are, bullshit apps that are rapidly enshittifying before our eyes and a bunch of useless startups probably created as part of a money laundering scheme. Speaking of which, since no one wants to live alongside CHUDs, the Bay Area has the most overvalued housing in the world. I’m from bumfuck nowhere, and I always looked up to San Francisco growing up, and seeing it in its gentrified state makes my blood boil: the wealthy have no taste and their wealth is wasted on them.
Why can’t they go fuck off to Martha’s vineyard or some antebellum south town instead of safe havens for weirdos?
Yes. They are all rich depressed weirdos that love drugs. Just be their dealer and you will make a mint.
Is it a glorified economic data spreadsheet by chance?
Also, the entire world runs on spreadsheets. At the bottom of so many apps is just a spreadsheet
My ideal vision of a communist utopia involves many, many spreadsheets. Better than capitalist spreadsheets in quality and quantity. Apologies to all the anarchists out there in advance.
The communist utopia is backed by Postgres
i believe in anarcho-spreadsheets
Can confirm, have a private program for personal use… it stores its data only in csv file format
Been a while since I been back but I think at least half of the billboards were for HR software. I feel at though you’ve been beaten to the punch re: shovels.
