What if they are laying off to make room for better developers?
If they weren't able to hire these "better developers" in the first place what is going to change now?

Maybe those "better developers" were suddenly laid off by even bigger corps? I've noticed a trickle down effect in our very-small hiring queue. I can't help but imagine mid-sized companies are getting access to devs that only wanted to work for FAANG before.
I know it's in fashion to have a cutesy name for your employees these days, but "Dutonian" is really stretching it haha.
Oh shit, here we go again. The Dutonians join the Googlers, Xooglers, Nooglers, Metamates, Amazonians, Mozillians, Stripes, Tweeps, Peeps, Veeps, Elasticians, SoundHounders, Vimeans, Rackers, Krakenites, Latticians and Plaids.

I'm with you, so long as this "work family" and other crap ends.
Did PagerDuty ever say "Work family" or is this just a strawman?

Lots of open source options out there: https://jayaj.medium.com/top-10-yellowant-integrations-f2e52... And in a volatile macro, you may be loathe to drop talent you'll need again, so might as well have them roll something and maintain it versus outside spend. You can always migrate back to a SaaS vendor when the coffers/pipeline is more robust.
A co-worker at as past job once said: "We pay for the services we use so that if they break, the Managing Director can pick up the phone, yell at someone and something will happen. That doesn't work with Open Source."
With my VP Eng hat on, PagerDuty is a useful service With my VP Operations hat on, I can't justify the pricing Wearing both hats at the same time, I built the solution my company needed inside a weekend and allocated funds elsewhere
The problem usually is, when the rest of your systems are down then this one is likely to be down as well, making it useless. People are paying PagerDuty primarily for their uptime and reliability.
