Coincidentally, I was reading a book (Learning Systems Thinking) and this section right here was remarkably relevant to my recent post:
We expect the people who build software to behave in predictable, procedural, top-down controlled ways. Our preferred communication style reflects these expectations—straightforward, concrete, and concerned with control.
I had not thought there was anything IT specific that was affecting this push for centralization, but that is perhaps because so much of my more recent IT experience has dealt with micro-services and distributed systems.
If the author is true, and I think they understand the programming culture better than I do, then perhaps the tech-bro foolishness is even more related to their original career than I thought.
