Some people think scalability is the biggest challenge in tech. Some think it’s data privacy.

I think the biggest challenge in tech is the constant internal battle between ideals and a fat pay check.

Do you want to make $300k a year or do you want to not create zero-click malware for repressive governments? Do you want $400k total comp, or do you want to not be complicit in a genocide fuelled by targeted ads? Decisions, decisions!

@vanamerongen

What could be a solution ? Not having the battle?

So, I am assuming you favor the ideals.

How could this change? How can this change so it is not a challenge any more? Could it be just about educating people?

Also, I wonder if you mean something like, apart from immoral, if people were not chasing a fat pay check, there would be an increase in technological advancement.

@vanamerongen What about a low pay check and no ideals?

I've had that once at a previous job.
