Why Have IT Workplaces Become Broken Beyond Repair?

The Symptoms

Code condemned to become messier as time passes

Have you ever wondered why is that every time you get hired in a new workplace, you will always have to work with an already made bloated overprogrammed mess?

How come even if you are given the opportunity to refactor that mess completely and devise an orderly optimal system, that software will end up becoming a mess again the moment others lay their hands on that code?

Working with "senior" developers yields less results than working with LLMs

How come working with LLMs as "programmers" became more productive & quality-driven than with humans, despite all the intrinsic minuses LLMs have?

Inflated, unskilled & unprofessional managerial personnel

Why is that in every new workplace you will have to cope with the same managerial personnel that advanced to their position only thanks to a broken system that got them hired to begin with (based on titles and lackeyism)?

Zero work ethnics from both employees and managers, with full backing from EU laws

How come the system always rewards and advances boot licking and conformity, even if these are highly detrimental to any business that desires to grow naturally?

Why is it ok for employees to steal from their employers by working as little as possible and why are employers hiring 10x the amounts of developers they actually need?

Why are EU "workers' rights" regulations endorsing idling among employees (through the enforced 15m break every 2hr of computer work, usually becoming 30m "in real practice"), also making it virtually impossible to fire wrongdoers (EXCEPT on ideological grounds)?

Workplaces turned into leftist boot camps, where only the hive mind is tolerated

How come workplaces have become leftist boot camps putting ideological conformity high above any technical competence to a level of punishing employees for "offensive" comments while rewarding those that literally sleep on their job?

Why are female employees allowed and even encouraged to come in the workplace dressing/behaving indecently and why are boneless male employees (aka "simps"), or their bosses, always bailing them out and punish the "sexist"?

Why is the "hive mind" dominating among all (otherwise expendable) employees, creating an unbearable working experience for the handful of male or female workers that are actually just doing the jobs they are being paid for?

The Disease

Welcome to the unmaintainable toxic black hole

Meet the ultra-leftist corporate toxic environment where concepts like honor, valor or accountability do not exist. Meet a world where everyone cheats in the JIRA reports, creates "passing" unit tests, boasts of empty achievements, contributes its own part to the final disaster.

Is there any cure available?

The entire system, to every nook and cranny, is broken beyond repair. Ideological conformity (instead of technical achievements, productivity or work ethic) is becoming the real selective criteria, producing invariably bloated underperforming software.

Then came the magical solutions! Let's hire some really time-tested senior developers with high credentials and let's use an industry standard framework (like Laravel or Symfony), which has solutions pre-implemented for "everything" and a wide developer community to consult with.

Was this treatment effective?

Using bloated software to create or maintain "professional" bloated applications, where developers were selected by credentials (or by ideological commandments), instead of proven achievements, had no chance of working even on paper.

OK, let's use AI to code for ourselves! The problem is that AI is minimally effective only if it understands the base code well: if the base code is a chaotic mess, it will fail miserably as much as humans will. Also, until achieving AGI, its coding quality is condemned to remain substandard.

OK, let's use modular solutions like Lucinda Framework and developers trained to produce optimal code! Unfortunately, based on my experience, using good software and good guidelines DOES NOT guarantee any better outcome unless... its creators themselves are involved.

HERE WE GO FULL CIRCLE! THERE IS NO CURE: ONLY A FACTORY RESET.
