Software hot take:

I want to become a Principal Engineer for Software. This track does not currently exist in any official capacity in the United States. This is one of the only ways you can bite back against an employer. If nothing gets delivered, you are still doing your job. There is no excuse for threatening or trying to get around someone tasked with keeping your organization honest.

Is anyone surprised? They’re in the news frightfully often

Put an MBA in charge of a hugely technical enterprise where lives are at stake by the plane load. What could possibly go wrong?
