Reality is, they will just rebrand employees.
You’re not a developer anymore, but a customer satisfaction consultant. Same job as before, but technically not a developer!!
Also, this is a great way to reduce headcount while seeming innovative to the market ghouls.
These patches do offer some benefits for cloud providers or in general orgs that host a bunch of different products on potentially the same machine.

“Freedom of exclusively my speech”
Opposed to the Chinese corporations which are famously basically charity organizations?
What exactly is your point? Your moving goalposts to completely different planets.
Producing literally hundreds of a single type of airplane with orders for the next decade or so isn’t exactly “nothing to show for”.
And even if you discount the actual sales, getting billions in development budget from the US government is pretty good for business.
Sure, but can you prove that they were not just incompetent?
You can blame the captain personally for negligence, sure, but unless he has instructions from an intelligence agency open on his desk, you can’t prove anything political.
Considering the cable was likely cut by just dragging the anchor over the seafloor, there’s not much to find. It’s perfectly plausible that the crew consists of a bunch of idiots.
No matter what the truth actually is, it’s impossible to prove.
All this gate keeping is bullshit, but I do have to agree that we are really bad at actually engineering.
But what actually is “archival”?
Like, what technology normal person has access to counts at least as enthusiast level archival?
Magnetic tape, optical media, flash, HDD all rot away, potentially within frighteningly short timeframes and often with subtle bitrot.
The scale needed is ridiculous. You’d probably need one of those plants for every 1000 people on the planet.
I’d much rather capture CO2 from waste incinerators or (bio) gas plants or any other “residual” CO2 emitter that’s not burning fossil fuels. At least it’s pretty simple to filter out of their exhausts.
And I’m 95% sure these plants will be used as an argument for running fossil fuel devices longer. It’s “not so bad” after all.
