Why the People Who Could Fix It Are the First to Leave

The Claude-isms are so heavy in this it's painful to read: "Next: what an actual structural reset requires, once the cheap corrections are gone, the workarounds are load-bearing, and the people who would have made it easy have already left."

Whats worse can be who stays after a decade of attrition. Those that are smart enough to get a better, higher paying job, go and leave. Those who can't, have to stay. While there certainly is some talent in the people that stay (maybe they're just risk-adverse, comfortable, etc), the ratio of poor employee to good employee in the remaining pool statistically goes bad.
