“Everything in the tech industry is driven with a very hardcore eye for profit and very little interest in anything else”
What is up with the discourse lately - of course it’s all about the profits - we’re talking about companies right not non-profits? How else are they going to pay you?
The whole “expecting companies to care about so many things” apart from profit seeking mindset is just bizarre to me
- notpachet 3y agoNot all profit is created equal. Sometimes in order to chase greater short-term rewards, you sacrifice your access to long-term rewards. Pushing your dev team into unsustainable practices may increase next quarter's profits, but might also mean that your company is bankrupt 2 years from now. I would amend what the author wrote to say that a lot of stuff is being driven with an eye for short-term profit, at the expense of long-term value.
