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.
It's hardly surprising. Once they smelled cash in the water all the Gordon Geckos packed up their finance bags and moved into tech.
That's cause there are people that make the mean girls from mean girls look like the nice girls
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
