This industry is completely screwed. The MBAs have successfully taken over the industry and turned it to shit. There's no respect for craftsmanship, no respect for deep work, and a constant push to reduce labor costs.

I have been in the industry for 20 years and if I could leave tomorrow, I would.

Where do you live/what do you work with? I must say that for my customers - developing a secure, accessible and high quality product is what you have to deliver. They will not accept anything less. This is fantastic for me as a developer, product owner and CTO. We spend a lot of time refactoring and creating a great and bug free experience for our customers and their customers. 100% respect for craftsmanship.
