Reply #3: The relationship between capitalists and the engineers they employ [View All]

[bemildred]

has usually been somewhat adversarial, which explains how
crappy most commercial software is, you can't do good software
when you are distracted. Much of this is driven by the high
prices capitalist are forced to pay for good engineers, the
money boys are nothing if not arrogant, and many strategies have
been employed over the years, both real like "outsourcing" and
the H1B program, and imaginary like "structured programming" and
"object oriented design" and various other attempts to make software
engineering "easy".
