As soon as your engineering company starts taking advice from business instead of engineers, you've lost. See also - Boeing.
Are you kidding?
From the perspective of capitalists, Boeing is the fucking dream. They can innovate fuck not at all, they can bury inconvenient data AND the people who know it with impunity, and since they're too big to fail in literally the cronyest capitalist industry on Earth, American War, the government not only won't lift a finger, but will actively print money to give to them to let them keep doing all of the above in perpetuity.
Boeing is the capiteeliest of capitalist success stories. You didn't think modern corporations actually believed their own propaganda about free markets deciding profit and success based on herp derp honest compertition? Thats just the bullshit they drive into kids minds when they can't yet muster questions or concerns to ruin their lives and forge them into wage zombie husks. Capitalists want to win, preferably at the gunpoint of their captured governments, because actually prouducing products/services that people actually want is for suckers.
Well, in the short term that's true, because they won't be allowed to fail. You have to think either the government will get much more involved or all their civilian customers will go away if this continues on, though.
You are bouncing on Boeing's dick so hard I can hear the "boeing" from here. Jesus christ.
If you want to believe me calling them the peak of capitalism by capitalism's own inhuman metrics is a compliment, knock yourself out.

Patrick Gelsinger was an engineer.
Nvidia is run by a former engineer. I don't know if that's an argument for or against the idea.
