I started hating on these kind of articles. They notice a problem with a subset of people and generalize to the whole when in fact another subset might be in the exact opposite situation and would benefit from the inverse advice. True, I met a lot of engineers dreaming about the perfect organization. They take social media utopia ideas about IT and compare them to reality. But it also true that people learn to game a broken system without realising they are doing no service to themselves or the org. And when that system breaks and the org fails they find they spent years only getting better at a special case of doing things wrong and are basically unhirable somewhere else. I get a lot of those in the interviews I hold. On another hand people that really tried to fix the orgs - not just complain on twitter - gain valuable experience even if they fail in doing the saving. They learn from mistakes that are being made and will take steps to avoid letting other orgs start on wrong paths if given the chance.
