@rechelon mostly same except I’ve never been a true primmie. I got into tech inadvertently via my obsession with music. I never had a love of futurism or technology for technology’s sake that I see from other tech workers.

@rechelon @thomasjwebb i actually had that obsession as a teenager, but i still ended up in a very similar place. I think it’s because i have just enough knowledge to see how much bullshit there is (but then kind of burnt out when trying to get actual skills like programming, so i don’t really have the skills to do anything with/about it). I’ve learnt that i actually love the tactile aspect of paper. And that i love being outside and being present in the world around me. I think my obsession with tech was to a large part due to wanting to forget my body because of dysphoria.
