Correct. I don't think I have ever seen sound engimeering decisions being rewarded at any business I have worked for. The only reason any sound decisions are made is that some programmers take the initiative, but said initiative rarely comes with a payoff and always means fighting with other programmers who have a fetish for complexity.
If only programmers had to take an ethics oath so they have an excuse not to just go along with idiotic practices.

- ricardobayes 2y ago"Fetish for complexity" haha. This sounds so much better than "problem engineer".
- BandButcher 2y agolmao you jogged a memory in my brain... in my senior final semester in college, our professor had us agree to the IEEE Code of Ethics: https://www.computer.org/education/code-of-ethics https://www.computer.org/education/code-of-ethics In retrospect I can say I've held up for the most part, but in some cases have had to quit certain jobs due to overwhelming and accelerating nonsense. usually its best for your mental well to just shut up and get paid ;)
