Guess what, nobody asked me, so now we're going to talk about this DoorDash Dogfooding outrage. You're gonna get all my hottest takes because I've got a sidecar in my hand and no deadlines tonight. Strap in.

Post details

DoorDash is rolling out a program where everyone on their team does a delivery at least once a month. Some of their engineers, who make upwards of $400k, are outraged that they will have to actually use the product that they build. Bunch of losers.

Let me be clear: I think the company is molten garbage, but that's a very different thing than dunking on the humans who work there. I don't want to be remembered for a lack of empathy towards other people.

I get it. People need to take work to feed themselves and their families, especially underrepresented and marginalised folks. And those reasons are not immediately obvious to the drive-by dunkers. But I have no pride for what I did either.

As someone in the “don’t have anything nice to say” camp about today’s tech controversy, I’m indeed not saying anything (rightly) other than: It’s not okay either to demand respect for joining a company that has done highly questionable things.

I interviewed for GitHub last year. I went in with my eyes open about their contracts with ICE. I didn’t get the job, but I got through to the last round. I did so because A) I got laid off right at the start of the pandemic and B) I was uniquely qualified for the role

Ian Coldwater 📦💥 (@IanColdwater)Thu, 30 Dec 2021 05:52 GMT

tech as a field is so morally bankrupt that when someone respected gets a job at a shitty company, the best defense we offer is "well every other tech company is evil too". how we can be this depressed & nihilistic while still having so much support for capitalism is beyond me.

Kat Maddox (@ctrlshifti)Thu, 30 Dec 2021 05:49 GMT

I will continue to respect and cherish people regardless of who they choose to work for. Capitalism leaves us all with dirty hands, and kindness is one of the only things that costs nothing.

I’ve given a lot of grief to people who work at Facebook / Meta for the past year or so. I’m not going to do that anymore, and for what it’s worth I’m sorry. You deserve better than my shitty comments.

Yeah, all of capitalism is bad, but not all equally bad. Saying so gives cover to bad actors. Take a look at the reasons given why different companies are bad. Conspiracy theories & "Javascript bad" are not the same as worker exploitation & crypto grifts. twitter.com/wongmjane/stat…

I’m not sure who needs to hear it, but “offering someone more money or a better environment to work there” is called “recruiting.” GTFO with this “poaching” narrative. You employ people, you don’t own them.

"I had a black friend". Singular. Not multiple. One. "I liked her, and I think she liked me". My intentions were pure. Not so sure about hers. "Now she's hostile & unpleasant" Stereotypes of black ppl being angry & violent. "I'm sure I didn't do anything" I'm the victim here

News keeps asking "Should people feel bad just because of American history?" The answer is simply yes. When you learn about crimes against humanity you should feel bad. Hope this helps.
