Now the dark side grows in you. Managers are the anchors in every company. They make sure nothing moves ever again. They are like a parasite sitting on the shoulder of thinking engineers. They get there money for nothing

That's one sided view. As somebody who manages people (I hate it tbh) things which can piss me off the most are engineers who will go out of their way to not do the task or make some stupid excuse why it is not possible to do the task which will fall apart the moment I will start poking into the excuse.

Try to run a company without any managers for a while and then come back here and tell us all about how productive it was.
