Obviously I did not tackle it because of some ideal to fight fire with fire. I'm tackling it as people seem to forget something very obvious: Most red flags are entirely dependent on your position in the market. The less fortunate (people in careers with low demand, juniors, etc.) do not have the luxury to ask most of these questions, let alone vet for every red flag. My point is to illustrate the absurdity most people face and how normalized it is from the employer's side. If devs are already ridiculed as Prima Donna's by their peers merely for proposing such a list, I'd expect those same people to think twice and critique the status quo too. Yet, developers are more often tone policing each other rather than handling the same standards for employers, from my experience. Author wouldn't even be blogging this if they only had a portion of the power they have now.
