I hate that he is right. It speaks deeply about how broken the incentives are for humanity and labour and why AI will ultimately destroy jobs, because AI won't need to deal with all the sacred rituals around politics and control and human management. For each stupidity that we worship just to "preserve company culture", we step into the inevitable doom like having a Google principal engineer worship Opus on X like it's the first time they went to prom and saw someone hot.

It is sickening and it is something we have internalized and we will have destroyed ourselves before we settle on the new culture of requesting excellence and clarity beyond the engineers who have to deal with this mess.
