I think engineering is more stable, but it's a frustrating time to be a techy. We come from the counterculture and academia. We're at our best when we're talking more Whole Earth Catalog/Mondo 2000 than Fast Company/Wired, which means we're at our best when VCs and other business types aren't part of the conversation. HN should never have become the central watering hole, and silicon valley needs to stop being the center of the world.
