I suspect your misunderstanding there is some misplaced assumption that "developers" are some sort of tribe who respect and look out for each other.
It's easy to exist in a small "developer tribe" bubble where that's true, but there's a universe full of "unpassionate devs" just scrabbling to get project managers or bosses off their backs, and who'll cut-n-paste from StackOverflow answers and harass open source maintainers just to get their next Jira ticket completed before whatever arbitrary time estimate/deadline has been imposed on them.
- duxup 6y agoI think it is more that I would hope that folks who have an unfair or just not fun thing happen to them, wouldn't do the exact same thing to others in almost identical situation. Granted years ago I once worked at a call center and a coworker, just after complaining that they just got yelled at by customer for something they didn't do and couldn't change, placed a personal call to a local pizza place, and did the same thing to them. Bummer to see.

- pjc50 6y agoIt sounds like the dev mentioned was extremely passionate.
- bigiain 6y agoYeah, there's "passionate about coding", and "passionate about getting out the door at 5pm and not getting fired". I'm not always sure I wouldn't rather be the second kind...
