> Unpopular opinion but even if you are a Bill Gates, I don’t think there is anything of substance about his technological innovation.
I don't understand the downvotes here. In 100 years or so, practically no one is going to remember that Bill Gates created a shitty operating system back in the 20th century, but there will probably be statues of him around the world for his philanthropic work.
The most philanthropic thing he could do would be to go back in time and undo everything he's done in his life. Which is basically enrich himself at the expense of everyone else, causing trillions of hours of human lives to be wasted dealing with his broken dogshit product. Donating some money to some stupid organization with his name on it now doesn't make it better.
When you comment anything that goes against the hacker fantasy… that all of a sudden the world discovers a genius amongst his github code and throws money and awards at him out of good will to honor his genius as if he was the next donald knuth or something then prepare to get downvoted.
