What really grinds my gears, is for every shitty “feature” like this, for every denial of policy or piece of spyware… someone thought it up.
I wonder does anyone ever, in the meeting where this is decided, bring up what a horrible idea it is? I’m sure that person won’t have the best career, but has anyone ever seen someone take the bullet?
Seen from abroad, US companies have always kind of been anti-consumer, but lately they’ve been super turbo pedal to the metal implementing that shit.
I guess they want to quickly make as much money as possible in the few years left before everything goes to hell.
Man, I’ve been to these meetings.
Shitty MBAs have a shitty idea, and when you go “that’s impossible to do / directly against any sane set of values / clearly and plainly very, very illegal”, they just go “don’t worry about it” and have you do the stupid shit. When it comes crashing down, responsibility is usually distributed like when you take a turd and throw it in a high speed industrial fan, everyone gets a little.
Then you have a choice between either becoming so jaded and cynical that it’s not even funny anymore, or switch jobs. I’ve had too many jobs.
