GS relaxing its tech dress code is the first sign of the of the end of the business cycle. The second is a management committee member taking up DJing.

Sell equities, buy treasuries.

They could also try a policy of not arresting developers who contribute fixes back to GPL projects too.

How so?

Do you have any links for this? it sounds pretty bad, but I guess there are certain nuances to it?

The GP is likely referring to this story:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sergey_Aleynikov

http://www.vanityfair.com/news/2013/09/michael-lewis-goldman...

I am just now realising that this case is still ongoing. That's crazy. A DA literally made it his mission to get the verdict reinstated:

'On April 4th, 2016, almost nine months after Aleynikov was acquitted by the NY Supreme Court, the Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance's office filed an appeal seeking to reinstate the guilty verdict'

Not to sound like a conspiracy theorist, but I would not be surprised if Goldman kept applying pressure behind the scenes to ruin him.
