> There is a prevailing "tech can do no wrong" attitude in the tech community

Is there? I see the opposite in communities including the one we're on. The anti-big-web-company torches seem brightest within compared to the more accepting yet non-ignorant outside.



I think it's not quite "tech can do no wrong", but "all problems can be solved with tech" is definitely prevalent. I guess it's because we're all tech guys here and "if you only have a hammer...".


But you need to use valid examples which the Yelp one is not. Yelp is terrible so not high on the search results like it should be.

But then do a product search and Amazon a top result returned even though Amazon banned any company on their market place from selling a bunch of Google products.

It is just Yelp sour grapes. If going to accuse Google think you might use a valid example.


Yeah, that's a better way of putting it. Way too many people in tech are completely blinded to its limitations and inherent problems.
