Release Engineer here too.

FUNNY STORY: we make the developers act as release coordinators, because it distracts us from the work of improving the release process by replacing it with automated software systems.

The top of his hierarchy should be PMs/executive team; betrayed by his own developer ego…

It's a hierarchy of skills. PM and exec skills are almost entirely orthogonal to tech skills. Putting them in this hierarchy makes zero sense as a result.

Because understanding the business's and customers' needs is somehow "beneath" developers in skill or status?

Sounds like some people need to try the "less technical" parts of the stack like requirements gathering to appreciate their roles.

"Orthogonal" means independent from, not inferior to.
