You don’t find it to be succinct? It’s certainly pejorative, but in four words it explains quite nicely how the author feels about Raghaven in a way most engineers can probably relate to. If he’d said “engineer who no longer builds but leverages their past technical background to instead succeed in a management role, often to the detriment of their past engineering peers” it would roughly get the same idea across, it’s just a chore to read.
Personally I don’t mind that sort of colloquial flare, it reads like I’m talking with a real person rather than a design document.
Anyone who talks about class traitors, or almost any sort of traitor, outside of a real war, is deeply misguided on this point.
"class traitor" has a specific meaning: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Class_traitor
Yes, I know.
Read some marx. There is a whole analysis and theory behind class traitorship, it's causes and effects. You can't be ignorant of something as fundamental as marxian theory in this context, and then act as if it's the author making the faux pas...
Sorry I think you've made a lot of this up. Where did I say I was ignorant of something, and where did I say anything about a faux pas?
