> I always see comments like this from individual contributors.

Tangent, but did I miss some trend here? Over the recent months, I've started to see the phrase "individual contributor" being used pejoratively, at times almost like a swear word. Is it now a label that's assigned to bad employees or something?

As an IC, I didn't read it that way. It seemed like a pretty clear case of "you are presenting an IC's perspective, allow me to present a manager's perspective". Two views of the same issue. It didn't seem to assign more value to one than the other.
