To be fair to the article, it real seems to be more about developer burn out, which I have sympathy for. If you have trouble attracting talent, maybe think about how you are treating your talent?
We can't all just get tired of working and quit.
> creating a crisis for recruiters 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?
> 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. I'm not necessarily disagreeing with the statement, but this is a biased-as-hell source for this statement given that LaunchDarkly's product is feature-flag-management (to minimize deployment errors).

Reminds me of; ‘Loads of men are killed in war, women most affected’
It points to developer apathy. I sometimes wonder if that's just the global feeling at the moment. Everyone that's working on widget X suddenly doesn't care because of all the crises going on. Rampant inflation, extreme inequality. By continuing to work on widget x they are just supporting more of the same. Think people want society to change a bit before moving forward with being happy.
One thing really smart ppl have in common is that they see the world as it is. They are aware of thr glaring issues incompetence has brought upon this world.
And that causes depression. Looking at the future there is literally nothing to be happy about.
Ppl are slowly preparing for civil wars, power outages, food shortage and worse.
And those are ppl you would often consider pretty layed back about life in general.

> 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.
That sentence could've been re-written to the equivalent: > Launchdarkly wants you to remember that they have a product that intends to help with deployment errors The rest is window dressing.

It also bends credulity. It suggests 7 of 10 developers work for companies (or know someone who has) that fail to prevent onslaughts of their developers from leaving over deployment problems.
