You want me to work 60 hours per week for you? Counteroffer: I work 0 hours for you.

you must be some super fancy great coder, in this fucking job economy where they can't wait to fire people and the market is fucking flooded.

FWIW I'm a shitty coder and still don't work overtime. And I've met brilliant engineers who just put up with everything.

The top priority of any tech professional should be building up a cash reserve so you can afford to play hardball.

I feel like most of the layoffs and the flooded market happened in the US. Judging by the name, bleistift is from the EU...
