MBAs have their place: big multi-nationals in middle and upper middle management. Not at the top, not in tech and not in startups.

Pointless generalization. Engineers have their place: as individual contributors without customer facing roles. Not at the top or any management position.

"customer facing roles" and "management positions" sound like the shitty corporate bureaucracies which engineers want to stay from.

The corporate culture of exploiting engineers will soon come to an end.

corporations will be the first against the wall when the revolution comes.

if you believe the revolution is coming, that statement is therefore straightforward.
