fintech devs will never use their power for good
People do jobs for money. I’ve worked with people who used to work in fintech, they’re just normal people
I’ve also talked with people that made software for rockets, they too were doing jobs for money and are all normal people; if you wanna put a wall of separation between worker and work, i’m with you, but if you’re unwilling to concede that military contractors are not innocent (which you shouldn’t) then i’m unwilling to concede fintech devs are innocent
they’re in a generally overpaid field of work, but choose nothing but the most overpaid work (by the standards of that field) there is, with deep negative consequences for the rest of society
The Haskell devs are the true wildcard in this equation.
Nothing says wild card like going back to academia, which is where they came from before the brief bubble of Haskell being used for crypto. Nothing against Haskell devs, you’re all great CS professors.
