I'm not blindly blaming the bottom developer. I've played my role in past waves as well as many other developers. I'm not a CEO, so I don't know how to communicate this same message to a CEO. But as a developer, I know I've been an ignorant participant in the past. Willfully or not. And I can change my role in the next coming wave.

We developers are not blameless. If we accept that we are playing a role; then we can be proactive in preventing this and influencing the direction things go. CEOs need developers to achieve what they want.

I'm not saying it's easy. I won't even hold it against folks that decide to go in a separate direction than mine. But I at least hope we can be open about the impact we each have; and that we are not powerless here.
