I was a huge fan of the thesis, but as I kept reading the situation seemed very familiar. Very familiar to the multiple times I have worked for a non technical guy that really just doesn't have a clue.

I was really not a fan of the part where he told his guys not to make excuses, but then made a very large excuse for himself.

If I would have read only the first few paragraphs I would have been a huge fan of this article.
