The reality is that the market for good developers is so competitive that they could just walk out and find 10 other places with better answers to these questions. That may have been the case in certain parts of the world for the past few years. The next year or two might bring some rude awakenings for mid-to-senior devs who are only a few years in and have never seen things any other way. I was trying to work out how many of these questions a candidate could ask me - with the attitude implied by the tone and phrasing in the article - before I immediately terminated the interview and no-hired them. They might get away with one or two of the ones with reasonable underlying points with the benefit of the doubt about the attitude problem but I doubt they'd get past that. If they really can get hired at 10 other places instead then good for them but somehow I doubt that would actually be true for this kind of person. No-one wants a toxic prima donna on the team.
