A great deal of the problems in the industry are systemic, not personal. If you rely on personalization to understand the problems of the world, you will always be frustrated, because there will always be people ready to step into the role of “evil” thanks to perverse incentives. You can only eliminate the evil by eliminating the incentives.

I have no power to do any such thing. I acknowledge that the system rewards sociopathy and seems to inspire it as well. These types seem to be the shepards of our industry and the world changing technologies its laborers develop, do you disagree?

I agree, but focusing on the personalities involved causes people to misdirect their efforts as a group, and they just end up with a different group of “bad guys” after getting rid of (or disempowering) the current batch.

The pattern that’s currently in tech already existed (and continues to exist) in the world of finance. Tech is just its latest expression.

		Sure, for myself, the best I can do is make sure my day to day work does not involve these people, so I do focus on personalities regarding what companies/teams to work for.
