I own 11 books on how to be a software engineering team lead or manager. At a guess, they total 900K–1M words. Exactly zero of those words are about working in the public sector or cooperative enterprises; *all* of them assume the reader is a for-pay employee of a for-profit company navigating unchangeable structures controlled by other people. I wish I knew enough to write something better—to say that yes, there *are* viable and rewarding alternatives to the Silicon Valley greed machine.

You're not a real cat owner until you can both identify which one is throwing up and echolocate the room they're doing it in.
