"Wow, this is a man in his 40s who thinks that he’s the center of the universe. "

That's not wrong, is it?

The journalist sounds insufferable and I'm not particularly up in arms about tech leaders--but my god, this is a sick burn.

OK, how qualified do you have to be to criticize tech companies and tech leaders? Mainstream journalists write for the general public, which means that ideally, journalists write to express the perspective of the mainstream public. Is it possible that the public have valid criticisms of the technology sector? Are tech companies and tech leaders above criticism?

I don't want to read endless tech criticism. If I'm reading tech journalism chances are I'm interested in tech and new exciting stuff. Imagine a car magazine publishing nonstop about how cars are killing the environment.

Car magazines publish environmental stories all the time. I love tech and I love cars, but we can't ignore social costs.
