Fully agreed, it's almost a textbook indication of how established businesses harm themselves from short-term plays, except both sides actively want the harm because they can just push the damage onto the employees.

With luck, the golden goose moment isn't too far away, although with tech in particular, it's been sad to see that over the last decade most people dream not of creating "the next Google", but to land a cushy FAANG job and to rest and vest.
