   @baldur SO much this - I know I've had to push to defend "the craft" for years as it is, but it just feels like people are actively seeking to destroy software *engineering* across the board now.

   Devs are becoming poor managers and managers are becoming poor devs. Hopefully it'll leave a lot of mess to tidy up at least.

     Why work in a field that has accepted stagnation as a standard practice?
