As a “builder” it’s quite frustrating to watch MBA chads and PE firms kill engineering cultures for short term profits. But they’re also like cancer for a business - an inevitable outcome of senescence that should create the conditions for a healthy young successor to emerge and consume its resources. The problem is that the tumour has learned to pay off the politicians and remain “alive” much longer than it could in nature.

So now we’re left with a bunch of rotting metastasised zombies building airplanes that automatically nose dive and space craft that leak.
