That bubble is not the world, I exist outside the ladder and I am legion.

Hence the author's "In the software engineering world".
Nothing in author's write-up led me to think he doesn't understand that.
I must say, life is a lot easier as a software engineer outside of Big Tech. It seems like a bit of a pressure cooker to me.
I am also a renegade it seems. I just couldn’t institutionalize myself like that.
