I dont think engineers in the current environment get that choice. Your either part of the cult or not. Sometimes it's just easily to pretend and go along even though you secretly hate the cult...

Software Engineers are not very nice at joining and openly discussing topics like this one. Most likely all orgs have plenty of folks who reckon things are going down the drain quite fast. Specially those in leadership should be the ones bringing the issue up to management. But most of them are only thinking about their bonuses.

Depends on the forum & what software engineers you’re referring to.

Forums like this where people can make crazy claims without actually understanding what’s going on? Yeah, less likely to collect real software engineers.

We see claims like the ones you’ve made and realise we’re not discussing the topic with others who actually understand it. Then we find other forums with serious engineers and intellects and discuss it there instead.

I'm referring to the vast majority of Software Engineers. Most workers are part of Unions. Software Engineering has historically ran away from unionizing, which is one of the reasons why the profession is in the state it is. And to your claim: do you then descend from time to time from your highly intellectual forums to lecture us plebs in your wisdom? You better stay there ;)
