#2Full disclosure - I work at LaunchDarkly (I look after our DevRel team) - but this is a topic I'm super passionate about also, so though it was worth sharing out. We talk about burnout a lot - but what I really appreciate about posts like this (and the report that it references) is that it gives some tangible examples of where that burnout comes from - and hopefully some paths to mitigating it.
Hope you find the read interesting!

#3> A report from software platform LaunchDarkly revealed that nearly 7 in 10 developers (67%) have left a job due to pressure around minimizing deployment errors or know someone who has.
[emphasis mine]
Without knowing more about the connectedness of software-developer relationships, I have no idea how widespread the problem is.

Weird angle. Isn't the actual story the high levels of burnout in developers, rather than the inconvenience this creates for recruiters? The article is more balanced, but why lead with this?

Recruiters are just barely part of the managerial class so they are more easily emphasized with by others in that class.

Reminds me of; ‘Loads of men are killed in war, women most affected’

I have never heard of worklife.news before, but it seems to be a site more targeted at managers, recruiters, HR folks, and the like. Not surprising or even necessarily bad that they would frame a headline to highlight the story's connection to its audience.
