- MattGaiser 6y agoI still see it as an important distinction simply because developers also have an interest in not getting hit by a bus. But they are quite happy to leave for Netflix and given turnover rates in tech, are almost guaranteed to leave in a few years.
- tom-thistime 6y agoIt would be an important distinction, except that "hit by a bus" always primarily meant being hired away. (For me "always" means "since the mid 1990s".)
- MattGaiser 6y agoFair, but an organization should still be able to survive a literal bus hit too.
