Well...points to them for learning I guess.

I hope thoae rehired senior engineers charged them a massive increase on their salary to drive the point home.

    Those engineers demanded a 50% pay increase, right? Right?

    I know if I got told to fuck off and then they come around begging for my help, you know I'm going to make sure they remember their mistake.

    Why should they be so modest?

    I know several people who would never return to any company who has fired them. Neither for 50% nor for 5000%.

    I personally would think hard for 1000% or more.

    “We’re moving from that find-and-fix mentality to preventing issues before they occur,” [...]

    Funny that the introduction of AI in software development generally means a shift into the other direction. As John Ousterhout called it, "debugging a system into existence".
