    Someone should remind those soggy, arrogant execs that down here in the developer trenches we survived web services, software as a service, outsourcing, and off-shoring. We’re still here after all that and we’ll still be here after AI.

    And the media will keep on shamelessly calling them “job creators”.

    Hopefully some day the average voter will see through that shit.

    At this rate the leopards are going to have to start going on a restricted diet. Maybe the panthers are hungry too though.

    I mean exactly what you think I mean.

    That makes it pretty clear that most executives are the worst possible people to run a company. Well, that’s just how it is when ruthlessness and greed are the only criteria used to select top executives.

    But hey, even if they were to lose their jobs because they’re burning through so much money, things will go on as usual: Anyone who’s ever held a top management position will always be hired for the same role somewhere else, because competence is definitely not the deciding factor here. Never was, never will be.
