The tech bubble needs to crash before we start seeing great tech people again. There's too much money in it. If you asked 100 computer science majors why they chose CS they would all tell you it's for the money. And I get it, because it fucking sucks out there.

For real! I remember when I got my undergrad in CS I thought there would be a maybe a 50/50 split between dorks and check-chasers but it was more like 20/80. That was 10 years ago, I can only imagine it's 1/99 these days. I'm sure there are some real turbo-nerds who want to make magic with the computer, but it's like you said too much money on the table to NOT be a code-goblin for some MEGACORP.

Tech bubble or no, lib cultural hegemony hampers radical thought. We need slop about bad ass anti-imperial hackers robbing crypto markets, running over Nazis with hijacked Tesla swarms, and using FOSS to manage their polycules.
