I emphatically disagree. Unless a team is throwing out resumes that look "too good", in which case that team is purposefully picking mediocre developers, being confident does not mean you'll only be hired by places with exagg

I would not recommend doing it through Docker, though, especially after this change. We use AWS's ECR, and you can set it to do pull-through caching of public images, so images you've already used will stick around even if Docker

I think that learning about other roles is a way to significantly mitigate the luck inherently involved in getting "on the right team to show scope and impact".

If you're laying off people, you're going to also get rid of the low performers. Maybe you don't have enough low performers (or just don't know who they are) to make up the quota and you have to remove whole teams or use
