You missed the point: I didn’t make any sweeping generalizations. I’m advocating against that. The only generalization I made is that the existing generalization about anti-engineering is hooey.

And I don’t know why you’re assuming I’m an IC; I didn’t say that either.

I don’t have any problems with people sharing their specific personal experience. I have a problem when people start claiming good engineers are “rare” — you’re just insinuating bad things about tens of thousands of people you have never even met.

As a meta comment I will say that the rhetoric you're using is representative of the kinds of rhetoric you see on the internal mailing lists in case anyone reading whose never worked at Google wants to get a taste of what that's like. It literally reminds me of being back at Google.
