Poor kid, learning how an enterprise works the hard way. If he stays in software eng long enough he'll be back here eventually, with a little less gumption, but a little more tactics and grit to fight the battles he wants to fight.
If it wasn't for it being some big enterprise corporate company no one would give a stuff about the blog post.

welcome to life.
I read it more like "Yeah, we've all been there. It's a sucky lesson to learn, but in the end he's likely to be wiser (albeit more jaded) to these things."
