Don't hate the player, hate the game. We're all trapped in an economy where not growing/"innovating" is death. If a company dared announce they were done building and would just go into maintenance mode, their stock would fall of a cliff. One of the stated mandates of the Fed is maximum employment. They structurally require 100M (or whatever the number of working age adults is) jobs, so yes we will come up with a 100M jobs even if 50M are useless because everyone needs to eat.
Modern software development is only becoming cancerous in the same way as any other established industry. There's no use being all sad about it, every other white collar profession has already been through this, and these things are not for us plebs to decide. Just go in and half ass your 4 meetings a day job building the 10000th note taking app, the economy demands it. If we don't make the stonks go up then what are we doing anyways?
