Lot of lesson is true to other industries too. Unless, one is crazy about the nature of work, almost always, it is good to work for profit centers than cost centers. I learnt it a hard way in my life.
Key takeaway from here as a software dev is that you should try to tie yourself to profit centers as much as possible for career safety and also promotions. More revenue and profit means more money to spend on engineers. Getting promoted under a failing product is a tough ask.
