Memoirs of the almost a year I lasted at Google. The name of that year? 2008. Yeah. Topics include: Third World, precariat, tech elitism, queerness, surveillance, capitalism.
Y’all encouraged me to submit this as a full post, and I clearly overcommited to this blog so I hope TechTakes fits for it lol
Looks like HN found it: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44200773
Holy shit the sheer amount of them saying they were confused by how you wrote your article has me rolling. These paragons of intelligence failing at basic reading comprehension.
Hopefully you find their jabbering about it as funny as I did.
A surprising number of the commenters seem to be at least considering the intended message… which makes the contrast of the number of comments failing at basic reading comprehension that much more absurd (seriously, it’s absurd how many comments somehow missed that the author was living in and working from Brazil and felt it didn’t reflect badly on them to say as much in the HN comments).
“Funny” is one way to put it.
