Can we talk for a minute about how corporate tech culture is becoming more and more toxic? 

The environment is growing increasingly bad for our health. So it feels timely, and a bit urgent. And this topic is not getting enough air time.

Does that song trigger memories for you? It takes me back to a lot of happy memories like Ego to his childhood dinner table in Ratatouille.

It’s silly right? Just a childish wish for things to change. 

Except maybe it’s not.

Why can’t you just do what you are supposed to?

Ever had this thought, wishing for another person to be different, to change? Truth is, it’s not always possible. And in fact can be a great source of frustration, resentment, and energy drain.

If only this were easier. The thought floated through my mind as I clung to the rock 150 feet in the air. I strained, sweating, trying to brute-force my way up, but I was stuck. I’m not going to make it.
