The Cyber Show ☛ Colonised By Wankers
Colonisation of the industry by ideas that are incompatible with proper engineering. How did it happen?
"So how did we get here? The MBAs are how we got here. The MBAs are the wankers and we let them colonise us, the Software Engineers. It’s a truly pathetic state of affairs. That is the short and sweet version of the story around how their love affair with gaslighting and uncertainly has now become our love affair with those things."
All cults have their illustrious leaders and sacred texts little red books, little green books, manifestos. In the West we think we're liberal and flexible, but we have a sacred ideology too, its the MBA. We ideologically appoint people, with fealty to the same principles as Soviets or Maoists. This cult of western business ideology has been running for 40 or 50 years. Way longer than Communism survived in Russia.
That's not an indication of its correctness or "success", but of our inability to examine and correct our mistakes.
