I feel like most of my work has been wasted throughout my career.

In my 10 years, I can look back and I think maybe 3 years of my work still exists today. A couple companies are not defunct. A couple projects were literally cut from under me.

Is this normal? Do most software engineers end up having a ton of their work wasted?

Scamming stupid VCs is just a bonus.

It's also a public service, the sooner each VC is dead broke, the sooner their stupid stops making life worse for everyone else.
