I have been both a manager and an executive. As well as a consultant in many companies both small and large. I'm not saying that those people are necessarily incompetent. I'm saying that, per POSIWID, the purpose of most software organizations is not effectiveness in making software (or in serving users via software).

That's not constructive in the sense of providing ways to solve the problem. But that wasn't my goal. My goal was to support and confirm the article's thesis. I have also written plenty of constructive things on software development, but I think it's absurd to suggest that every HN comment must contain that kind of constructive feedback. (And if that were a reasonable standard, you aren't living up to it.)
