> Being in tech doesn't make you a hacker.

Agreed. "Tech" includes a lot of people who are not hackers.

It's worth pointing out though that the "hacker" types who go with the flow are in many cases doing so motivated by pragmatism and cynicism. They don't really believe in management or in the company or the product, but they gotta stick around until their shares vest or whatever.

Speaking for a friend.

This is exactly what I’m referring to when I tell people that the tech industry changed and is no longer fulfilling.
