That goes without saying in the software business today. I was in software for decades and I’ve never seen it so cynical. Shameless profiteering seems to be the gold standard strategy. It’s like Gordon Gecko style greed.

Infighting, KPIs, comp packages, weird ass games trying to build something new or try to learn is actually looked down upon. Very medieval with hunt vibes
