This is sort of reminiscent of those billboards proclaiming "Life is short. Get a divorce."

Go talk to some people who've made the leap to founding their own companies or going for that bigger position. The pressure increases and the race never ends. Sometimes it's nice to just be able to knock out code on interesting problems without constantly worrying about your next move. Engineer comp is going up, way up. I don't think the right next step is to turn engineers into hyperpolitical MBAs.

Ironically I believe that we need technically competent people on the business side more than ever. When an industry gets "Hot", it attracts pretenders, and that can only hurt us.
