That's not meant to be a judgment towards people who talk about tech a lot. I used to enjoy talking about it too. Even the minutia. I think what changed for me is that I started to ask where it was leading to. And I couldn't form a coherent answer that mattered to me.
I believe in the promise that tech is meant to enhance human potential and improve human experience. I want to be able to talk about tech in the context of what we are hoping to achieve.

There should be no shame in recognizing that there are two kinds of developers:
those who like to write code
those who like to build things
The writers are happy to reimplement the same project with subtle changes over and over again. It doesn't really matter to them what the code does.
The builders prefer to solve problems, improve quality and increase layers of abstraction. (think of @simon )
