The whole point of the article is that the vast majority of engineering teams have some power. It's not a license to derail the company with technical OCD, but as in all things… "balance, grasshopper."

Yes, there is 1% who can't follow that advice for various reasons of desperation. Not enough to continue arguing this thread.
