i hate to say it this bluntly but working in tech actively selects against emotional development, spiritual development, having any real understanding of the project of human living. tech people who acquire those things mostly stop wanting to work in tech. i see it all the time

This is my sense, too. I wanted to hear more people's experience (and yours counts, of c!)

I think you and I are both somewhat selected to believe the kind of thing you wrote because we went down that path and washed out precisely because we needed to develop emotionally, etc.
