> they’re also pushing for org-level mandates to require everyone else to use their solution.

That's how you get promotions when you don't do anything valuable lol ok done with the cynicism

Not cynicism, incentives. Everything is shaped by incentives. We make movies about heroes and martyrs because they're 0.001% of us.

  • No disagreement here, the incentives for software have always sucked. People complain constantly about how everything is enshittefied, that's just corporate incentives manifested.

Do this long enough and you really believe it's good, after all the years of being promoted for strong-arming people.

But hey, I do it. I prebake my own tools to work within the system, a new person joins, and I show them the tools as an example. Instead of learning what it does and why, they just learn how to use the tool (now via claude).
