Thank you! And when pressed, almost everyone I've spoken to that hasn't moved into management (if you ask management, you're asking for people who have largely self-selected into delusion, at least at these orgs that are struggling), has admitted their work is useless. I met an engineer considerably more senior than myself recently, who said something along the lines of "A reckoning is coming". I think they have a lot more faith than I do in these ultra-bloated organisations trimming fat. The funny thing is, we both think that we're the people who should get trimmed, not for lack of trying, but because our best efforts have yielded nothing. I keep getting promoted, but if you look at my track record, almost everyone I've ever worked with including the super smart and diligent, are abject failures.
