I have a weird optimism that grassroots tech might make a comeback after everything enshitifies. I got on here 6 months ago and it was so refreshing.
Comment on What happened to techbros from the 90s to now?

It happens in every industry: the passionate people who got in it for the love of the field get replaced by the people who see it as a lucrative business opportunity. Experts get replaced by salesmen.

The MBAs relentlessly seek power and money. I worked many years for a large hospital system that I watched yransform from clinician-run, with nurses, doctors, and social workers in almost all leadership positions, to MBA-run, with people with no clinical experience in almost all leadership positions. Everything just got worse and worse over time as decision after decision was made that compromised clinical integrity in favor of saving a few dollars. I don’t work there anymore

That accurately describes just about every industry and business in America. MBAs are the most overrated educational path in the world. The characteristics of a leech in human form.

To be fair, there are some very interesting concepts around large organizations from how they grow to how they communicate and things like that.
That said - yeah.
