  Nothing has changed. I worked under this guy at some point in the last year while working at a very questionable cryptocurrency company with a very questionable CEO (doesn't narrow it down too much). The author of this article was awful. Pure toxicity. He gatekept all information and no one under him had any context until the CEO would complain and he would blame his underlings. He would set teams working against each other on the same problem with neither team knowing. Many people working in his vicinity quit. He would have tirades in open group chats threatening to fire people outside of his department. I saw him trying to get views for this post on LinkedIn so I had to come and check the comments. Seeing this article is pretty funny though. Seeing "Shield the team from the business." is pretty funny not only because he would gatekeep context, but also because the company he has worked at for the last several years has no business model. It is a pet project for a founder who made too much money for his own good during the cryptocurrency boom. And since the author has been there the value has dropped something like 95% or more. His department was outputting so much AI slop proofs-of-concept and then handing it off to other departments to maintain, and then passing off blame for future issues while taking the short term wins. I am so happy I am out now.
