It must be hell to be in tech these days and have to adopt that relentlessly upbeat self-marketing language everywhere people can hear you.

Dumb train of thought before coffee has kicked in: was talking to an old-person-in-tech last night who was bemoaning cultural changes. Seemingly those were forced by the industry having absorbed 100% of the world’s production of aspies but needing more workers than that.
-
So positions that used to require autism got down-skilled so they could be filled by normies, and the culture had to change to accommodate them. It’s not that normies are inherently good at self-promotion, it’s that they’re not bringing anything else to the job.
-
Can confirm they didn't absorb 100% (personal communication)
-
replace "100%" with "climbed the supply / demand curve to the point where substituting in normies was easier / cheaper than chasing down the last 2% of the spegs""
