That is pure opinion editorial. No facts, no actual examples, and not one of the hypothetical anecdotes matched my experiences; I read the follow up post too and much of his would be insight was exactly the opposite of what I experienced at Amazon, for example. It’s not a computer science writing. It‘s personal philosophy blog posts.

His logorrhea is only matched by his lack of meaningful, helpful, coherent conclusions, for example: Conclusion : Middle management is … both the solution and the problem. … rather than declaring the whole concept obsolete [we must\ figure out how to get good at it.

You know what that kind of fluff and that ouroborian logic sounds like to me…? “The problem is the solution! We don’t know what to do but we need to figure it out!”

Boo. Hiss. Fie.
