I don't give a damn

I saw some posts on HN recently in the style of "Why I quit
working at Google" or "Lessons from a former Facebook Engineer".
These things pop up pretty frequently and I'd like to share my
opinion with this hidden corner of the internet that I don't give
a damn. More than that, I find the entire situation that feeds the
ego of these people despicable. Your having worked for an evil
(yes, evil) company does not put you into a special category that
warrants extra attention. It does not prove you are on some higher
level of computing prowess, for I know so many world class
intellects who know better than to soil themselves at one of these
behemoths.
So yeah, I don't give a damn.
