In my mind, I would separate technology from its application. Advertising tech and AI coding tools are applications of technology stacks that could have been used to create what yo…

I absolutely understand this sentiment. I've been working in tech since the late 90s and I have had MORE than my share of let-me-off-this-ride moments. But this post (and the many …
