I cannot tell if technology work has always been this way and I'm just too inexperienced to know it, or we are in the midst of a massive employment bubble.
People are very excited about adopting new tech x for zero reason, writing lots of Jira/Confluence salad to describe it. But at the end of the day 0 justifiable business case. Just pointless developer evangelicalism and nodding business heads.
From my first hand experience that for any of this VC money to actually work out, the real projects have to have just astronomical returns to make up for the rest.

- datatrashfire 4y agoI think I'd be willing to take a pretty large pay cut to work at a company that does not tolerate this wasteful busy work. It's bizarre how it seems nobody really likes it, but we all collectively just keep it going as well.
