Avoiding the engineer-saviour trap - Jenny List, Hackaday
hackaday.com/2017/08/03/avoidi

"And in that moment, I almost fell into a trap. I was setting myself up to be the Engineer-Saviour, riding in on my white charger to deliver the users of the room from the ceaseless hell into which its designers had put them. The overwhelming smugness of Helping Someone Less Fortunate Than Myself was reaching out to envelop me, and it was time to put the thought down and back away real slow."

@ghost_bird oh yeah I forgot to add a warning for that, it's a trashfire (really to be expected on a techbro site like hackaday...)

@f0x I thought it was pretty funny in a dark way - straight from gun control into eugenics in the first half dozen comments - but... yeah.
