Another characteristic of tech is that it is comprised of very, very many people that effectively have no idea how to accomplish the task they were hired to do.

Another characteristic of tech is that it is comprised of very, very many people that effectively have no idea how to accomplish the task they were hired to do. For example, a civil engineer would need to have a degree in their field and then pass a series of stringent examinations to get an FE and finally a PE. Most will require a PE to practice their trade. In tech an "engineer" may or may not have a degree and there may be certifications, but very few that I know of have ever provided any value. In my experience, there's also not as strong a correlation between a degree in CS for example and one's ability to produce software. Lots of folks in tech come out of Enterprise IT where projects usually fail and the modus operandi is to purchase technology from vendors and blame them when it doesn't work out.
