What fraction of programmers with 10 years of experience have been fired? My gut reaction is maybe 2%-3%, but that seems obviously wrong...

And of the sample of people I know well enough to know if they were fired, the fraction comes in within 2x of the calculation above
I was thinking that it's odd that there are 3 stories about getting fired from github, but the odder thing is that it's 0 for most startups

0 stories, or 0 firings? I've found startups to be much worse at firing people who need it.

0 stories. I know of more than a few startups which fire quite heavily (though not all, and perhaps not most, do).

Why does that seem odd? We use nondisparagement clauses to actively discourage such story telling.

What's the 3rd github story besides
@holman and@CoralineAda? I think they wrote about their firings because they already had public reps. -
Average folks without public reputations are more fearful of a firing stigma.
