Out with the old guy and in with the new guy. No change to the incentive structure. I wonder if things will turn out differently this time?

I hope Unity users will get to continue to use the tool they have spent so many hours learning. I also think the industry should try to make things more CEO proof.

The problem is making it more shareholder proof. Enshittification comes from the line go up mandate. Unity is but a single example.
