        FWIW I’m a shitty coder and still don’t work overtime. And I’ve met brilliant engineers who just put up with everything.

        The top priority of any tech professional should be building up a cash reserve so you can afford to play hardball.

        I feel like most of the layoffs and the flooded market happened in the US. Judging by the name, bleistift is from the EU…
