The article in two lines: > In fiction and in journalism, the fault almost always lies with the executives > we — the well-meaning engineers — shoulder the blame This is a weird take to be honest. Company culture is the responsibility of the executives, and however we put it, ultimately the blame lies on them. Is the hell paved with good intentions ? yes, surely, and there's a need to be critical of the impact of one's work. We could fault people for not taking a step back to look at it from a distance. But the reward ("nudges") system the article is focusing on isn't that, it's incentives put in place by the company. Who set up these incentives should get the blame when shit hits the fan.
