Such a waste of talent!

I just heard a podcast from 'better offline' titled 'how managers are breaking the internet' and he calls these kinds of things 'the rot economy', kind of like enshitification but it happens when some completely disconnected suit takes over projects from passionate developers and brings the whole thing to the ground with their 'line must go up' mentality.

I'd say it's exactly whats happening here.

Ed Zitron is on a rampage against consultants and managers breaking the industry and I'm all here for it.

Definitely started following his posts after his google search piece, he is now hunting rabbits.
