It wouldn’t be like that if we could work on something that makes sense to us. But no, we have to desperately find whatever is valuable enough to some rich dickwad that has no clue and then kiss their ass doing shit poorly their way. My work would be a million times better if my suggestions weren’t always shut down on the basis of “well, I’m above you, and I made this decision before you, so suck it”, especially when it’s a system only I have to interact with and is trivial to remake.
