Great summation of how it looks (and smells) from the outside. The only thing that jarred me out of furious agreement was this line:

> At least I have my integrity.

And I may be throwing stones from a glass house but, in my opinion, they have 6 months of integrity on a backdrop of <unknown number> of years of quite specific non-integrity.

Exiting the speeding-train-with-no-brakes saves you. Helping to stop the train has at least the chance to save others, which earns integrity.

Write an (anonymous?) blog describing how to recognise the bullshit, what the strategies are that you, yourself employed to convince the rubes. Expose your methods so that others who are employing them are made toothless.

There lieth integrity.

Edited to add:

This kinda thing, it's good to see the reversal: https://www.joanwestenberg.com/techs-accountability-tantrum-...



It’s easy to wax poetic about integrity when you got a few million in the bank.


That's what they're doing , but not anonymously. They're writing tech critical articles, which their friend advised them not to do
