Yes, I generally blame management. But sometimes I blame the engineers when its obvious they had other good options.

Their manager was promoted to c-suite for running a covert worldwide spyware op (that also informed the company's M&A strategy). I'd reserve most of my blame on corporate culture that incentivized & rewarded such orgs and its management.

I think its fair to blame both, usually. Got enough hate left in my heart for it
