Ask HN: What STEM field is currently the wild west
I work at a generic large corporation writing software. My main gripe is how checked out everyone is and how shitty our process is. This seems to be the case across the board. MBAs join exec teams and gamify work and come up with grandious policies.
I hear stories from the 90s of all these rockstar engineers and scientists that would go from job to job just getting shit done and not having to worry about corporate bs.
So what field is that? What field is in it's corporate infancy were the life hasn't been sucked out of it by execs and shareholders. What is the get-shit-done field? The pre-IPO google? Is that a thing or am I building up ideas in my mind?
Background: I have an undergrad in electrical engineering and applied math. I got into software. Currently I work on low level sutff and firmware. It has the potential to be really amazing, but realiztically kinda sucks.
