Poettering will also continue to remain deeply involved in the systemd ecosystem.
I therefore trust that it will continue to be shit.

When I was at Meta (briefly) and in SV startup land, there were way too many Poettering (and Musk) fanboys. While I grew up in SV, I was gentrified out and renounce asshole VCs, managers, engineers, and broligarchs, and now I'm elsewhere with saner housing prices.
daemontools and runit at least were simple and dependable, could drop-in and stop services on-the-fly, and didn't have a weird-ass broken state where it refused to start because it failed X times before. Oh and GFL shipping systemd syslog to other systems. syslog-ng was even more performant and robust than rsyslog, even though rsyslog was nicer to configure.

The trick is to live somewhere with sane housing prices while working for a Silicon Valley company, for SV pay -- or at least close to it. Yeah, they'll ding you a little for being remote, because they can, so you'll only be making 80% of what you would living in SV... but you'll still be making 3-5X what local companies will pay.

It is much harder to find a job than to keep one.
