No need to be that harsh. It is good enough to recall a fact,a software engineer is a producer but a product manager is an overhead.

I think he needs to go back to school. He even doesn't know what the job description of a software engineer is. He says:"Software engineers write code ..."

Moreover, he contradicts himself. He compares himself with Steve Jobs. He says:"Don’t bother with the details." But, Jobs said:"Details matter. It's worth waiting to get it right."

I'm assuming you never got to the "Afterword" (perhaps due to anger or frustration?), as it is at that point that the author reveals that the entire article up to that point is the exact opposite of what he supports.

This does of course make for the argument that perhaps this style of writing is not suitable for skimming, though I'd agree with another comment on this post that after reading the part about 95% of 3,875,000 equating to approximately 1,000,000, I was definitely more perceptive that something silly was going on.

No, I didn't get to that point. I bet Ken had a lot of fun by his article and probably in his talks too. This is a good way to create buzz.
