Yeah, no true scotsman, I mean no true software developer, would ever do anything like that.

Except Google, Meta and the like do exist.



That's neither here, nor there.

I didn't say they're not engineers or developers. I said they're not engineers/developers in the old hacker sense. They don't have a passion for computing and for making something, but for the money and VC schemes.

If you think Google and Meta is run with a passion for computing and hacking in mind, and that their products and actions reflect that, then I have a bridge to sell you.
