What do you mean by boomer tech?

It’s funny how the big tech companies are getting worse, to the point where engineers are favouring a return to “boomer tech” because they treat their employees well long-term - and now the older companies that focused on research and consultancy are starting to become shit at that.

I imagine going back to the ways of 1960s IBM/Bell Labs where you have a secure, well-defined role, you are well compensated for your time and you have plenty of like-minded people to bounce ideas off.

Who wanted to eliminate that? My Grama used to work at Bell Labs as a researcher when it was in Manhattan, she always looked back fondly on those chapters of her life. Startups are fun, but Christ are they unstable and you’re wearing 11teen hats simultaneously.
