this year i watched a company buy a hypervisor company and jack the renewal rates 5 times knowing that it will take 4 years for their biggest accounts to ditch them. and that the twenty years of renewals they get in 4 years is worth destroying the hypervisor to get the money

imagine a company that purchases space shuttles and lights them on fire in a field because it's more profitable than launching them. as much as it makes sense using math it's heartbreaking to watch as an engineer
