I think that any electromechanical system that does not allow a mechanical override or at least a redundancy are doomed to fail. I don't know why these IOT entrepreneurs don't take in account that software and electronics are faulty systems, ignoring decades of experience in the subject.

And I just fear projects that will use Node.js for complicated domains like banking. Yes, there are people this kind of nuts in the market.

Do you have kids? Does your schedule accomodate parenting and chore duties? I feel that after my kid was born, I lost the possibility of having a good night of sleep. And my kid is already older, so I don't have the issue of waking up many times during the night anymore. Even so, just surviving has been difficult.

It's not dumb. They understand what they are doing. They think firing multiple people at once can flood the market with developers, and the situation could be used to hire new people with a lower compensation.

Don't think the rationale behind this is work quality or developer productivity. This is a power move. For Google and many big tech companies devs are replaceable and are just cogs in the machine. The problem is that they became too costly with the advent of COVID.
