I'm dying here, from the article;

> What about Raghavan’s career made this feel right? How has nobody connected these dots before and said something? Am I insane?

Yeah spend any amount of time in tech and you will learn this feeling well. There should be some long German word that describes it.

How many acquaintances do I know that have sold their useless startups for 10s of millions. Others that are promoted well past the Peter Principal into positions that have them leading thousands - and lacking the basic skills or empathy needed to understand what it is their orgs do.

This can either make you bitter and burn out... Or you can let it go. The universe doesn't owe us fairness. Ask the seal being played with by an Orca before being torn to shreds how it feels about fairness.

Go enjoy life friends. Luck dominates so much of what is perceived as success. There are more important things to worry about.
