Programmers have been enriching themselves for years by creating the tools and infrastructure upon which the massive shift from CAPEX to subscription-based economics has been built and now they want to speak up? I don't want to hear it.



Programmers did this? From my experience, programmers hate this industry shift to "rented" software, and it's the MBAs that have pushed this on us as they've infiltrated the C-suite over the last decade+.


Programmers are also the only group who has been creating an ecosystem of completely free tools that anyone can use or modify for themselves with zero restrictions.

Software has zero production costs and this enables all sorts of uses, moral and not.
