I think the depth of relationship with a job is more complex than comments and the article talk about.
What is you reaction to the kind-of-shitty company that gives you an opportunity for great personal growth and creativity?
Great colleagues but a real monoculture?

I liked most of TFA but the end where the author claims that management is more committed than IC's seems really strange to me. Is that something people look for? It seems like it would come across as totally fake cheerleading. Anyway, outside my experience.
I think the point is that, as a manager, you can’t fake it and still feel good about yourself. Whereas an engineer can just feel good about doing a good technical job even if you don’t buy into the company direction.
