You can find hordes of shills to state otherwise but alas tech has become an industry that is based on deception.

Its a fateful turn of events. It means that the fundamental and very powerful information engineering skill, something that is in-principle vital, neutral and promising, is lost to the world as a force for good.

You cant put lipstick on a pig. That moral deficit at the core of the industry is fatal. Nothing good or lasting will be built on it.
