[Go Make Things] Everything wrong with tech

​ Last October, Joan Westenberg wrote an amazing list of everything wrong with tech in 2023. A few of my favorites… The obsession with short-term profits severely undermines long-term positive impact. The lack of diversity among founders and investors propagates harmful exclusion. The concentration of disproportionate wealth and influence among a small group fosters plutocracy. Algorithms that amplify bias, misinformation, and polarization recklessly undermine democracy. The favoring of technical solutions over social and political reform is dangerously reductive. There's so many more on her list that ring true. And since then, things have only gotten worse, in my opinion. Go read Joan's entire list here. 🎉 Preorder Getting Sh!t Done today and get 40% off!
