incredibly annoying to connect with a random old friend of a friend and find them to have incredibly toxic tech bro opinions. Just because you made it by the skin of your teeth in a shitty system, that doesn't make it good. If I somehow someday become some big shot research group leader I hope to never stop shitting on the exclusionary meatgrinder that gets me there.
I'm like "I can fix him" with people with bad opinions way too often tho.
