It is, but it’s also real shit. Basically shows how the structure of the systems that people have to use every day, that their bosses buy for them because most workplaces aren’t democracies, is determined by the incentives that devs have in their workplace. The latest Business Fad like agile scrum vs waterfall, or whatever is cool now, and also how bonus structures work + how the company culture works, all directly or indirectly affect the way software works. That’s why studying sociology and anthropology is important, because then we can design incentive structures that get people making good software that serves humanity. I don’t know if such a thing is possible under capitalism with a profit motive. I think in a postcapitalist world we could have honor and other social rewards go to the person whose software helps people the most. We are a long way off from that.
