Yeah, that sounds hypercapitalist. At least I hope those engineers make enough money to retire when they burn out.

Unfortunately hedonic adaption often prevents that.
I could see that happening, especially given that they're young and feel powerful, nearly invincible. I experienced a similar attitude form younger folks outside of FANG, some kind of derision of experience and advice from people who have been around and choosing instead to obsolete it. After the first burnout may of them become a lot more thoughtful and humble. I may have been like that too when I was young, I don't remember being exactly like that but maybe I was just not aware. I still did respect experience and I still do to this day.
