The Fall of Meritocracy in Tech
THE "IT" sector has been full of deceit and mischief in recent decades. I don't consider myself old, but I am not young either; in the next 5 videos (to be recorded tonight) I'll talk about several trends which concern me and a friend profoundly.
As noted a few hours ago, many people get burned out and here in the UK there's a health emergency (many young people die; it's not due to suicides).
We've come to the point where "tech" companies are led by people with no tech background and managers get elevated to positions of authority based on antisocial behaviour and ignorance (covered up by buzzwords). This issue is a lot broader than Free software because, just like software patents, it also impacts proprietary software developers. █
