> Wolves are the result of the work, not asking the question. Wolves don’t ask to be wolves; they are.

I think this quote snipe without the context doesn't really do the article justice. The post is interesting both intellectually and in that it's already clearly controversial. This quote standing by itself is mostly just confusing and imo takes away from the discussion.

A thing can become controversial exactly by appearing intellectually interesting on a superficial level but being dumb on a deep read. This splits the audience in the superficial readers and those with the time or expertise to read the piece with a deeper view. Both teams see the other as missing the point.

Google AI overview returned: “A ‘lone wolf’ is a wolf that has left its pack to find a new territory or mate, a natural dispersal behaviour crucial for genetic diversity.”

Interesting enough people do jump around to build their skills.

It helped me to think of it more as does-my-house-say-dead-engineer-storage-Wolf than awoo-Wolf.

This article has to be satire…

I lived through some of the events described therein. It's not satire.

That’s cool it just reads like an onion piece.

I know Michael Lopp. It’s not satire.

Shark or sheep?

"A lion doesn’t concern himself with the opinions of the sheep!"

On National Geographic channel, I have seen cannibalism in lions and spotted hyneas.

“Jugglers and singers require a pay raise. You’re a Lannister”

"Any man who must say 'I am the CEO' is no true CEO at all."

“Are you enjoying your new position?”

“Am I enjoying it?”

You could easily fit many GoT quotes in a series about office politics.
