This article oversimplifies things...and then comes to some bold conclusions. It helps to look at different perspectives, rather than looking at everything through an ideological lens. I guess thats the age we live in, unfortunately.
What is the ideological lens that characterizes our society? Greed.
The individual owes nothing to society: no limit to what I can own. Society owes nothing to me: my share of the wealth is my own fault. Might makes right. A deal is fair regardless of the terms: a deal
is a deal. Workers don’t deserve a vote: they agreed to their servitude.
You have the fear of being judged; the antidote is realizing that most people barely notice you, it just feels like they do because you’re self-conscious around new people.
It's amazing we don't have a good answer for this yet.
For me it happened on its own and I realized I was fine with who I was flaws and all. Yeah I get disappointed in myself or whatever but it was just getting comfortable in my own skin over the years that seemed to mostly fix stuff like this.
Also a lot of observing the anxiety and then after it subsided realizing I don't have enough time to worry about everyone else like I was assuming people worry about me.
Sorry for the rambling it's late. Anyway wish you best of luck out there :)
I used to feel the same way about AI, but my perspective has completely changed.
The key is to treat AI as a tool, not as a magic wand that will do everything for you.
Even if AI could handle every task, leaning on it that way would mean surrendering control of your own life—and that’s never healthy.
What works for me is keeping responsibility for the big picture—what I want to achieve and how all the pieces fit together—while using AI for well-defined tasks. That way I stay fully in control, and it’s a lot more fun this way too.
Hiring poor developers is not the cause of what went wrong with Digg, but a symptom of what really went wrong.
The problem with Digg is they stumbled onto a formula that drove them to success overnight, but the company never had a true vision that they believed in and followed as a company.
