That’s how it feels to me too. When I started out most of the people I worked with had real interest in writing software. Nowadays you have a lot of people who got into it mainly because it’s a well paying job. Definitely much less fun.

A ton of propaganda, total disconnect from reality , more effort being put into checking on people vs enabling them to be productive, conformism valued highly, everything flows down from the top, nothing flows up. I guess that’s called “ professionalism”
