> It's all about milking and rent-seeking: greed.

And greed starts to become an issue when managers think they need a raise.

But to be fair, if you're not an engineer is there much else you can take pride in other than driving up profits by whatever means?

It’s weird how people in tech think they are superior to their less-technical colleagues. Everyone outside of software development is a moron and the entire world would be better if programmers ran everything with no oversight. Somehow only engineers are moral and everyone else is purely motivated by profit. But engineers are above that! It’s so ridiculous.

Especially since the engineers are the ones who created this.
