@teacherbuknoy@masto.aiPinoy developers have this disease where they think everything can be turned into a business just because we have the technology, that everything can be turned into an app.
What's worse is that they look down on people who don't bother to build a business. Not everyone's born to be a businessman. I for one like to work for a company and receive a monthly salary. I clock in, work my ass, get paid, then clock out.
Also, not everyone who wants to is competent enough to have a successful business.
And it's funny when you watch them from one technology to the next. First, it was freelancing with Wordpress. Then it was freelancing with React. Then it was Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in general. And now it's putting AI in just about everything. And while that's an impressive feat of adaptability, they're also the same people who give out unsolicited advice about building successful tech businesses (they don't have any) and berate you for having a 9-5 office job.
There's nothing wrong with working as an employee. It's fun in the right company that pays you right and values you and your skills.
And I can't be bothered to learn business. I'm just a designer and developer. Also, I'm a breadwinner, and I don't want risks. I just want a comfortable life, and being an employee gives me that life.
@abhijith they always want to be the Filipino Elon Musk or Mark Zuckerberg too, so that says a lot about them.
@teacherbuknoy I don’t mind the disease. It’s the “looking down because you don’t have the same skill or mentality” part that irks me.
@jmalonzo it's true. They try and put you in a box that don't fit you, and they make it like you're incompetent for it.
