I've discovered that the software industry is made up of some of the most dishonest, insecure, power-hungry people on the face of this godless earth. Only a tiny percentage of developers seem to actually enjoy coding - Most of them have no interest in it and only see it as a mechanism to acquire money, power and influence. Disinformation is rampant because contrarians are punished and conformists are rewarded. The rot is deep in the guts of the industry. Those who have the most power and the loudest voices hoard all the attention for themselves and are unwilling to give exposure to any alternative views - Their deep insecurity drives them to surround themselves only with yes-people and to block out all critics; avoiding disagreement at all costs... Downvote, suppress, censor... Powerful people in this industry need to put aside their insecurity by embracing disagreement, allow themselves to change their minds, and give a voice to contrarian views and ideas; even when it risks hurting their current interests. Powerful people should seek the truth and try to promote the narratives which make the most sense; not the narratives which happen to benefit them the most. Everyone is free to move their money to match the changing narratives, so why do powerful people invest so much effort in keeping the focus on narratives which only maintain the status quo? To protect their friends? To protect the system? That is immoral - Capitalism was not designed for this kind of arbitrary altruism. For every person you 'help', you hurt 100 others. As much as people love to bash Elon Musk right now, he should be applauded for constantly trying to adapt to the narratives which make the most sense as opposed to rotting in his own filth and succumbing to tribalism like everyone else.
