I'm sure a lot of enjoy cushy, well-paid, low-stress jobs (myself included) but its not all of us. Game development is one area that could benefit from these.

Game development is one area that could benefit from these. People in that industry suffer from a lot of stress and high rates of burnout due to overwork. edit: they're also paid significantly less than people working in web-dev.
- dominotw 4y agoDeveloper job market is insane now. Why can't they just switch to one of the cushy jobs at an insurance company or something?
- josh_p 4y agoYou wouldn't ask a teacher or nurse to change careers because their employer or government is treating them poorly. You'd tell the employer to stop treating people like garbage. I know this is mostly about developers but not everyone is able to just make a job change like you're suggesting. We should be giving people the things they need to be happy and successful in their current jobs.
- dominotw 4y ago> You wouldn't ask a teacher or nurse to change careers because their employer or government is treating them poorly. yes i am only talking about software developers. > not everyone is able to just make a job change like you're suggesting. why though? Those cushy jobs are dime a dozen everywhere. I don't see why someone is forced to work for a gaming company at low pay.
- robertlagrant 4y agoIt's an employer change, not a career change. And you should definitely leave a bad employer if you are a teacher or a nurse.
