That's amazing. Paying people more than I've made lifetime total... to actively sabotage things.... When I was just starting out, I probably wouldn't have thought of tech as a money-focused business, or that there would be any real competition. I just kind of thought once you were successful, as long as you still had a job, you were effectively way too rich to bother actively seeking higher pay, and that nobody would ever want to do something like this kind of sabotage. I also thought that people would be generally excited about the future of tech and everyone on all levels would want to do what they can to keep innovation going.... But as it turns out, programming is in fact just a job, most people seem to be largely in it for the money, they don't think Tiles and AirTags are as cool as I do, and game dev especially seems to be very businessy and DLC driven and even NFTful and not exactly managed by artists. What happened to the dot com era vision of what tech should be? I would have thought management at the billion dollar places really would run things well, but it seems like there's plenty of dysfunction even at the top companies.
