Yeah, same sentiment here. I agree that some more people need to be told to relax a little in our field, but on the other side, the product and project managers are constantly looking to ensure maximum utility, especially in startups and high pressure environments. And looking around with the large number of companies that laid off people in the last year or two, I see fewer devs having the choice to push back when that happens. It really reads like the author is in the comfortable position of a staff or principle engineer without a direct manager and gets to decide what their day and week looks like and pick what they work on. I am afraid fewer and fewer have that luxury...
