yeah, it's a red flag for me this kind of mentality, short term oriented, it always leads to a steady decline into shit, this is what Cory Doctorow refers to about "enshittification"
as an engineer and troubleshooter, these are problems that i am always shouting about getting seen to or everyone will regret it. my best customers listen to me, most don't.
because i saw it so much up close it made me curious to know how this mindset tends to proliferate like metastasising cancer. mainly, people tolerate small declines in quality without making enough noise until everything comes to a grinding halt. just another aspect of how scientists and engineers tend to be gloomy and skeptical and generally distrusting of people with power.
