> Don’t gripe, celebrate it! Huge companies getting conned by large consulting firms creates opportunities for startups. If Deloitte and others were actually good at what they do, it’s be much harder to compete.

Eh, no. I bet Deloitte and Accenture are actually good at what they do, but that happens to be c-suite sales and other parasitic activities. End-user pain is an untracked externality in these arrangements.

Putting the idealism aside, I also thought startups where pretty much in the opposite business to these billable hour factories.
