“Side Hustle” as a Sign of the Apocalypse
Call me a crank, but personally, I&#x27;m getting annoyed by people who love to blame tech companies for everything. <i>&quot;This unending hamster wheel of capitalism and technology is driving us all to the brink of insanity&quot;</i> Maybe that&#x27;s true, but instead of blaming tech companies and brogrammers, maybe try taking a look in the mirror. You want to escape the rat race? Pack up your bags, move to bumfuck nowhere, and spend all your time reading medium blog posts. I guarantee you, you don&#x27;t need a whole lot of money to do that. Or if that sounds too drastic, just sit at home for the holidays, take the subway, cook your own meals, and clean your own house.<p>Personally, that sounds like hell to me. I like traveling to other cities and staying in people&#x27;s homes. I like taking an uber to get around sometimes. I like ordering food on seamless and hiring house cleaners on Handy, so I&#x27;ll have more time to do the things I actually enjoy. And if you don&#x27;t want to do any of the above, that&#x27;s fine too. Just pretend all of the above companies don&#x27;t exist and do what you want with your life, instead of complaining about tech companies and &quot;brogrammers&quot; providing services that cater to other people besides yourself.
