A software engineer that loves Disroot and the team behind it.

You could say the same about eating meat or any other cause. What's the difference, the animal is already dead anyway, right? Well, it's not that simple.

Thanks to the growing number of people who eat less or no meat at all, meat production is decreasing. If all of them kept saying that one man boycott makes no difference, the change would not come.

If you can't find a better job - fine, work for the evil FAANG or whatever. We live in capitalism and it's clear we need to work somewhere. But at least be honest and don't look away from inconvenient truth. There's still something good you could do while keeping the job at $evil_company. For example, you can support financially those who haven't got nice jobs in IT.

I'm not ignoring the other two things listed, I'm realistic.

You described it like it was something rare for FAANG to do bad things. Or like it was bad only when it required whistleblowing... Think how many things got crushed by EEE tactics, and it's only one class of examples of why big tech is inherently bad.

If the person who drew that comic understood anything about complex systems or why agile works when used properly, it could make sense. But it doesn't.

I love Lisp dialects!
