For people writing the checks "productive" also means "staying on good terms with the PMC". If you are outed from these circles, your career takes a nosedive.

Startups were a breath of fresh air, but as we continue falling towards the monopolization regime, the nepotism will permeate anything of value. Beyond these networks only soul-crushing work will remain, basically production of datasets for our replacements.

Essentially middle management and maybe project management. Project management's inclusion depending on how much power it has over decision making in an organization.
