Ask HN: Do you feel any cognitive dissonance working in tech at all?

No, not really. Honestly, I don't think there's much resentment towards tech at all. There's a bit towards the largest companies like Facebook and Google sure, but most companies in the tech industry have pretty good reputations, and even the likes of Facebook aren't exactly 'hated' by the majority of the population.

Most people appreciate what I... no we do. Every app and site I've worked has been liked by both clients and customers.

Instead, the tech 'backlash' side is being played up by the media rather than the public. Likely because technology and the internet in particular has decimated their business model, and the people working there aren't exactly happy about it. But that's not the sentinment of most, it's just looking like it is because the folks with the largest megaphones are the ones most against it.

Do I feel some dissonance in some things? Sure, I guess I've always found it hard to reason that someone making say, hundreds of thousands or millions/billions of pounds or dollars a year really deserves that much more than everyone else. But that's not really a tech thing.
