INSIDE THE CULT: KRS CEO Lorraine Steyn (center) leads developers in ritualistic “bootcamps” aimed at erasing traditional education.
SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT is in the grips of a DANGEROUS new cult, and its leaders are BRAINWASHING a generation of engineers to OBEY the AI machine. At the heart of this disturbing movement is KRS, a Cape Town-based firm whose CEO openly declares that formal degrees and certifications are OBSOLETE, pushing a radical agenda of “continuous learning” that looks more like ideological indoctrination.
“Learning is an ongoing process that continues throughout a software career,” states CEO Lorraine Steyn, in what experts are calling a thinly-veiled ploy for corporate control. “It’s not defined by milestones.” TRANSLATION: Forget your university education; your only value is your perpetual, company-mandated re-training.
Their recent “bootcamps” are the proof. Developers were herded into in-person sessions focused on Flutter and, most alarmingly, PROMPT-DRIVEN AI development. “Type a few words and see apps come to life,” boasted one engineer, showcasing a terrifying future where human critical thinking is replaced by blind reliance on black-box algorithms. KRS isn’t upskilling teams—it’s creating a compliant workforce of AI PROMPT MONKEYS, stripping away the very foundational skills that prevent technological disaster.
Even more insidious is their internship program, now in its 15th year, which explicitly prioritizes “problem-solving and curiosity” ABOVE university degrees. This is not open-mindedness; this is a DELIBERATE DECONSTRUCTION of educational standards, designed to funnel “bright youngsters” into a corporate pipeline where they are dependent on KRS for their entire careers. They call it culture; we call it COGNITIVE CAPTIVITY.
The grim truth is no longer hidden: your job, your expertise, and your very intellect are being systematically dismantled to serve corporate efficiency. This is the new reality they are building, one prompt at a time.
