I don't love products. I buy and use them when I need them.
The notion that we should be emotionally invested with products, and attached to them, is right where things spiral downwards.
I have a suggestions wrt. "non-evil" marketing: How about we get rid of the emotionally subversive language and actually inform about products primarily?

I would argue, that every kind of modern marketing basically boils down to 'evil' marketing. It is sadly the most successful kind of marketing, and thus corporations optimize for it.

Not everybody needs a VISA. Not every company is in the US.

When I was working at a pretty big IT provider in the electronic banking sector, we (management and senior devs) made it an unspoken rule, that:
- Juniors shall also handle production deployments regularly.
- A senior person is always on call (even if only unofficially / off the clock).
- Junior devs are never blamed for fuckups, irrespective of the damage they caused.
That was the only way to help people develop routine regarding big production deployments.
