Good essay overall except that it makes a very bold and somewhat misleading point that ICs only look “quarters ahead”. Always be careful of broad strokes generalization.
In good companies, you're absolutely right, I actually "grew up" with Smallpdf where I was as an IC given a lot of responsibility over the yearly roadmap.
From working with dozens of companies now though it seems to have been an exception.
Will adjust that part though, thank you for feedback.
