MODERATORS
You vastly overestimate the amount of agency developers have. They get told what to do by the higher ups and that's it. Though ideology is very much the cause for the extremely boring and bland factions. Cowboy capitalists vs technocratic capitalists, with basically no interesting backstory.
I don't overestimate it. The issue is that the company has been this way for more than a decade. Everyone lower down that had any creative beliefs left it a long long time ago. The whole company top to bottom will be absolutely filled with these sycophants. The people working in skilled industries that actually stay in a company like this are ideological true believers or they're so hopelessly ignorant and naive that they can't realise how pointless it is, but even those people give up after just a couple years in such teams.
