I'm pretty confident the idea of on-call would go away if the company had to pay for your time. But being salaried, they assume you work for them 24/7.

"All of this hinges entirely on your direct manager (and to an extent their manager) being an actually good manager" I've found this to be a pretty tall ask at most companies. IMO If companies got rid of most of the performan

That's exactly the reason. I don't remember working with any H-1B visa people in the 90s then the dotcom boom happened and demand soared. A couple years later I started working with H-1B engineers and my salary flatlined for over

No, it was more of a general comment that once Go added support for generics, doing functional style programming starts to look as complex (or more actually) than languages that built support from the beginning.
