Just read this in LinkedIn:

XYZ is one of our top star developers, with #speed as maybe her strongest super skill. She develops and ships new features at a rapid pace, at any time of the day (and night)…

This sounds super toxic for some reason. I’m triggered

It's not only toxic, it's absurd.

Nobody should promote that they want developers that are up all hours of the night working.

Sure I may be online at 2am but unless it's an *actual* emergency don't fucking talk to me.

Fuck these slavers.

Red flags like a Soviet parade

Just the random glorification without any morale compass.

Usually employer should be ashamed when someone has to work at night, but doesn't matter as praise for the dev is given.

Toxic positivity

Shes most likely overworked and underpaid...

“…develops and ships…” No mention of “supports”.

Yeah…I’ve met her. Many times.

Sounds like slavery with extra steps

The rest of the team is paying for her pace, which further increases the apparent performance gap.

Like in those movies about slavery. “yes, this slave is more expensive than others but he’s really good, he can collect 30% more cotton a day, and he has good teeth, this means he’s healthy”

Same energy.

“10x engineer performance review” culture deserves to die

@d4ng3r0u5 I think it’s much more, it’s like combined parade of USSR and China dedicated to Stalin’s birthday, so Mao came over to Moscow
