Philosophy is often mocked by people in tech. But I like philosophy. Everything of value I've ever done falls squarely under the label "philosophy". Philosophy is potent, actionable, and practical like nothing else.
The purpose of philosophy isn't really to produce concrete theories (which are generally flawed products of their time), or to give you useful "life tips". Philosophy isn't science or engineering. The main purpose of philosophy is to provide you with building blocks for thinking
The value of reading philosophy lies not in the names & theories you will be able to recall, but in the way they expand your future thoughts. Just like how the value of learning to code isn't in the toy programs you write in the process, but in the new way of thinking you gained
So it isn't very relevant to point out that philosophers X or Y were "wrong". I'm sure they were; we all are. But perhaps they were interesting. Can your rebuttal teach me as much as their flawed ideas did?
As a data scientist logic and epistemology are both daily considerations. I consider what knowledge I have of philosophy to be extremely valuable in every facet of my life.
What do people in tech know, and why should their opinion matter? And mostly "philosophy" for them means something just akin to talk on free will or some BS clusters in "philosophy of mind" and little else.

Absolutely. 100%
That is because people in philosophy have been enthralled like the rest of the world with tech, and haven't mocked enough the tech and the people in tech. wait enough.
I was a philosophy minor in college for that reason...it expands you and requires cognitive challenge that is more than superficial formulas, stats, etc. It has depth.
