this year i watched a company buy a hypervisor company and jack the renewal rates 5 times knowing that it will take 4 years for their biggest accounts to ditch them. and that the twenty years of renewals they get in 4 years is worth destroying the hypervisor to get the money

imagine a company that purchases space shuttles and lights them on fire in a field because it's more profitable than launching them. as much as it makes sense using math it's heartbreaking to watch as an engineer

You mean like SLS throwing all of the remaining Shuttle engines into the ocean, and then making more of them for $100 million each, and then throwing THOSE into the ocean too?
