@skinnylatte yup. And don’t get me wrong, I wouldn’t judge anyone negatively who wants to try and get that FU money or to get notches on their CV they just can’t get where they are - if it’s Silicon Valley or wherever that’s the ticket for the individual then good for them, genuinely.
But what it was, doesn’t seem like what it is, broadly, now. That ossification and homogenisation is incredibly off-putting.
This vibe also extends to the output of tech as a whole now too tbh
