Technology has always been about solving complex problems, pushing boundaries, improving lives, and creating something more than mere profit.
But lately, there's been a shift toward treating tech purely as a monetisation machine -- maximising output, leveraging AI for sheer volume, measuring success solely by revenue, and creating what I can only call tech slop...
When volume and quick wins replace technical craft and user impact, the core identity of a tech company gets lost.
True innovation requires caring about what you build and how it affects the user.
Reflections from a recent interview where I was essentially told: "We don't care about anything else -- money is what makes the world go around, and that's our only goal as a company." 🫠
