My old boss said, "Million dollar ideas don't come for free." I stopped giving mine away.
If the business thinks it needs to funnel money up and away, hire product people who take the credit, then why should I as an engineer care?
I am sad to say I care more about my coworkers and learning abstract concepts than the business model because I feel I have been cut out of it.
