Every single time. A high-level manager at Boeing wrote this self-congratulatory editorial about getting the engineers out of management last year and...ahem.

Silicon Valley started churning out clickbait and spyware either "subscription model" or "big-data play" or "I don't know...ads?" when the MBAs started running it and it not only ruined the tech, it ruined the business.

The conventional wisdom among the MBA class is that MBAs should run everything; that's to be expected, really--everyone thinks that everything would improve if people that think the way they think were running things--but the unexpected part is that engineers listened. "Oh, yeah, I shouldn't be running my own company. I should hire a professional CEO." Even Steve Jobs made that fuckup and he was more of a product guy than an engineer.

Hackers create shit and then MBAs show up and...you remember that "hitting every note of the things you are Supposed to Say" speech from American Psycho? It turns out that saying "You hired a knob, he has no idea what he's doing" is not very inclusive.
