What is it with western white collar (tech) workers and not using first person pronouns? This sentence took me a couple tries before I realized the “I” was missing.

I see it a lot on this site as well as my own company.


I don't think it's a tech thing, this is a pretty common form in english like "Went to the store. Got some butter."

I think it might feel more common in tech because it's more common in digital communications.
