@starbreaker @generica @craigmaloney I think this is also at the root of the problem. I noticed a lot of the shareholder fetishization when I worked at an automotive company. It was almost sickening.
@craigmaloney @generica @starbreaker I guess I can be your contrary data point. I work for a relatively small software development firm. We have a good team, good management, people do like working there and feel appreciated. I'm also proud of the diversity of our staff (including in management positions).
@ChooseYourMasks @starbreaker @generica Please keep it up. We need more places like yours to help keep this place going. 😀

My favorite: "You sold what?!?! Not only do we not have that tech currently, but we don't know anyone in the Linux world doing it. We are going to have to create it from scratch....and it has to be ready in a month?"

I've been thinking about this. My conclusions change often, currently fwiw: Recently start ups are more interested in becoming billionaires than fixing the world's problems and vendors push over engineered hw and sw for the sake of the shareholders.
