>Not to be dismissive, but this post feels a bit like rambling without a clear thesis or main argument.

The post opens with:

>This is more of a brain dump or an internal monologue. I don’t intend to prove any point or convince you to start your own thing. Neither do I want to reassure you that working for someone else is the best option for most people. My goal here is simply to get my thoughts out so I can think clearly again and rationalize this thing that’s been nagging me.

Missed this, mea culpa. Speed-read through the first few paragraphs, as they seemed to be an extended introduction.

I didn't actually read the article too thoroughly so I missed that quote, but that was essentially my thought when I read the other poster's complaint. "why is that a bad thing?".
