> Since I've always been alone it was easy to slip into that false sense of belonging. Same thing happened to me. Work was the first place where I felt I actually belonged and knew my own worth. It can be very intoxicating.

I have seen this more and more as well. In my experience, it tends to be developers who are aiming to switch to project management at some point in their careers.

I don't know why people are so often surprised about the number of employees in a company. My company has half the number of employees, we're not remotely as relevant as SO.

> I work on the principle that the best people usually come in via your network and are highly employable. So, that puts the pressure on to act quickly and decisively when you come across a good reference. I completely agree. However, at

Totally agree. I have some hope that the current high-profile layoffs makes (at least some) non-technical people to leave the industry. I have even started seeing more and more developers that have 0 interest in programming and are in it fo

Yes, but it took leaving my then-current job, and start doing part-time freelancing (I spent more time gaming than working for a few months). I did that for about a year and a half and then joined a startup, which was actually great. Barely

It's a case of the perfect being the enemy of the good. Is it possible that there's not too much work to do? In my experience, this happens when the reviewer has too much time on their hands. Parkinson's law comes to mind.
