I would rewrite this as "Short term focus is pretty standard for those not making the product."
From everywhere I've worked, the more actual work a person is doing on a product, the better they want to make it, and the less they want to deal with architecture problems down the road. The short term morons are always the ones that aren't actually making anything.
- marcinzm 5y agoSure, but the people making long term decisions in corporations are generally not the ones making the product. I would say in a way everyone cares about their own personal objectives and goals. Someone making a product cares about the joy they get from seeing it released and running and people using it. They want to minimize their own annoyance down the line. Those higher up care about the money they get in their bank account from their bonus. Neither particularly cares about the success of the corporation.

And sometimes, let's say for an online betting site, maybe that's a make sense mindset -- I mean, to not care. Why think about the poker game company's future or the shareholders future profits -- why would they be and more important than oneself. And maybe the existence of many companies is as meaningless as online poker games
