>It reads like a parody of tech culture.

I don't know, I feel like this is just a retread of "Office Space" and office employees yearning to do construction work.



It reminds me more of Kevin Spacey's character from American Beauty. After quitting his job in advertising, he takes an (explicitly) non-managerial job in fast food: "I'm looking for the least possible amount of responsibility"


The important distinction is the much larger financial and professional freedom of the person in question than the Office Space characters
