undefined | Better HN

On an individual level it's really not. On a macro level, given the comments I frequently read on HN, I think it is. Lots of engineers seem overly devoted to their employers. Personally, I believe it's because many engineers were not the most popular kids in high school, thus constantly seek other's approval, but that's my armchair psychology.

I think that there's absolutely a point there, though I don't have anything substatntive to add beyond that about the actual point.

I do however think that to have that discussion, it would've been much better form to start with the macro level point rather than mentioning his individual family first.
