My personal feeling is that there's a way to both agree with the underlying issues Sean writes about while being more optimistic and providing better alternatives. Something I feel I should start writing about more.
You're not wrong that there's something cynical or nihilistic about it. The core thesis is "do what the company wants, even if it's not what they should want". That idea may be unpalatable, but getting ground up in the corporate gears is worse.
