Thank you to share you story. Well no need to go into conspiracy it’s what is happening and you can see it in our field. Look at all the Oracle consultants out there. :) I would never recommend Oracle for anything. But how can a non tech guy know? All the non tech companies use it, even the top 500… So even more impossible to see that as a non tech guy.

I am sure you came across many staff engineers with +10 years of exp that will give weird ideas too and architecture decisions, tech choice etc.. it’s everywhere not just for dentists.
