You know what, I don’t want to be considered a tech worker anymore.

?Tech is good but tech workers?mostly sound like arrogant assholes to all the other people doing their jobs in other industries, pharma, healthcare, telecommunications, and other industries.
?
In all these industries,?people also have tech but it does not show itself as all-knowing and arrogant as do?typical?#saastech?people full of themselves.?
?
All these years SaaS tech built something great, some real breakthroughs, communities,?innovation,?and ways of doing business but at the same time it niched down too much.?
?
Too much up until the point that tech workers look upside down to other industries.?
?
Well, now it’s time to step down from the clouds, tech boys and girls.?
?
You’ve been too focused on productivity apps, graphics editors, and ad tech, all sorts of crap you can get funding for but stuff that does not make a change.?
?
Are you breaking the status -quo with another “Hubspot Killa”?
?
Do you plan to be the next visionary productivity app for yuppies, sipping expensive Starbucks coffee??
?
Really??
?
Is that supposed to make me drop my coffee?
?

Well, it won’t because I don’t drink coffee.

I’ve recently returned?to helping on? GrowthMentor mentor and I realized that SaaS has created a niche for itself of super ambitious people who gradually became arrogant assholes who have nothing else on their mind but super optimizing tech.?
?
I was one of them. But I realized a few years back that in order to make a change and create something meaningful, you have to do unsexy stuff in unsexy industries and shut up about scaling.?Like washing dishes after the party. Or cleaning your apartment.
?
Just answer me one question, where rockets ever sexy? How about telecommunication? How about HVAC? How about plumbing??
?
All these industries cannot wait to be disrupted. They just scream “Disrupt me with your content babe”
?
Just joking, not everywhere more content works. Please stop glorifying #more articles. 90% of them are meaningless anyways.
?
And you still pitch those poor SaaS-es with your content…
They can barely make ends meet.
?
Do they need it? Your content?
?
Go talk to some plumbers, they need fintech,?they need services?but not your AI-generated content.?
?
They’re simple. Be simple.?
