You think a shift like this is coming from middle management? Feels like an executive driven strategy shift towards recurring revenue, subscriptions, advertising, data collection, app stores, and away from the old OS licensing business model to me.
middle management driven development is the mindset, not the people. it is the core of number go up at all cost
I don't really agree with that. The infinite growth mindset is just capitalism and the current market realities being executed by the board and the C-Suite.
Dysfunctional middle management is motivated more by protecting their job, kingdom building, and promotions.
