This whole silly essay is just an exercise in the gonzo writing style, but is otherwise completely unnecessary.

I do believe that people can have bad luck with companies, managers, projects. I also believe that some people find their chosen field just isn't for them and should probably get out (if they can) whatever bronze handcuffs they have. Especially if they're younger and have other viable options. (Or if it's mostly a big company sort of issue they have, explore other alternatives.)
