    Tech employees are people, too.

    So were SS officials, ICE agents and US cops, people who work in weapons’ manufacturing, etc…
    Fuck you right back.

      You think they guy who writes code to make Xbox games work, or the woman who does data analytics in R and Excel to optimize cloud hosting traffic shaping rules (or whatever), is the same as ICE and the SS?!

      Jesus Christ. Climb out from under your rock and go meet some real people doing real things, and do some real things of value yourself. Maybe learn how to make something with tech. Maybe learn a little bit of code, I don’t know.

      I work in tech. I am not rounding up my Hispanic neighbors for ICE, nor am I building spyware infrastructure for Palantir. I write code to help doctors and nurses do their jobs more effectively and efficiently. But fuck me I guess for trying to earn a living by providing some value. And fuck Microsoft employees for writing code to allow people to play video games or whatever.
