Very interesting perspective. As a early-mid stage startup, you definitely want to invest in generalists who are able to build infrastructure before hiring specialized ICs.

I honestly had flashbacks when the author mentioned the carrot dangling thing. I’ve personally experienced this and as a naive early career swe, I gave the manager the benefit of doubt for a year even though I knew there was no way they could guarantee it. This is just pure manipulation.

The worst part is that he wrote the job description himself and resorted to manipulation to cover up his mistake of hiring for the wrong job role.
