Well, I don't see a reason why the article was infuriariting. It spoke the truth after all. That is exactly the state of the s/w industry. About the bakras thing, I think the article mentions it from the HR department's perspective. I agree that for the HR department, an engineer is nothing but a bakra (also referred to as "that techie"), a person making them reach their target numbers...and this is one among the gazillion-raised-to-a-million reasons why I despise them. But let's face it, the whole thing has got driven to the current state because of lack of initial expertise in setting up a technology company. Over the past few years, as we have started coming to terms with all these pitfalls, I think we have indeed started maturing a bit.
I guess I misunderstood the gist of the post, seems like "Some (64%) people are disappointed in their work." This is got from intent to leave. So yenu antha? yaake besara?
IT is the latest punching bag. And mostly its a case of sour grapes.
Personally I felt its a half-baked article. About s/w engrs not loving it there, how many teachers, mechanics, bureaucrats & so on, do their job because they love it ? After all, not everyone has the luxury to convert their hobby into occupation. In masses, its either need or qualification which drives the choice of work.

Thats what I hate about managers, in general.....WE should help (knowingly/unknowingly) THEM achieve THEIR AIMS...

yeah it is basically "education" for getting a job....to pursue a hobby or a passion into work, you need to have a very strong vision and belief....
