      Hot take: nobody should be oncall. It's software, not heart surgery. Nobody will die if your website goes down for a bit. If anyone should be oncall, it's directors & VPs, so that they're properly incentivized to allocate headcount to code quality, testing & release engineering.https://twitter.com/jasonhand/status/1253738142718361603 …

      If the argument is that the website will be less profitable if it's down occasionally, then the people oncall for the site should be entitled to a significant share of the site's daily revenue for ensuring that it stays up.

      Strongly disagree. If I develop software people buy, I should own it all the way through and keep my customers satisfied to the beat of my ability. And I should be compensated accordingly.

      I believe that being oncall makes the software quality worse (bc you're developing it, at least some of the time, in a state of distraction and sleeplessness), not better. Few other fields do this. You don't see farmers saying they need to watch families drink their milk at 2am.

      Aren't you making an argument for "no 24/7 oncall" instead of "no oncall" here? With a sufficiently distributed team, you can split oncall coverage across timezones. Weekends are annoying, but that's something you can improve with comp/vacation bonuses.

      When I was on a team with oncall responsibilities at Google, it was 12h/day (usually 7am-7pm), not for more than 1 week at a time, it was budgeted that > 50% of my time that week would be spent on ops/oncall tasks, and I was getting +2.5 days of vacation for each week of oncall.

      (I actually quite miss the extra vacation time now, I've considered going back to an SRE team a few times just for that benefit. Was easily getting 4 extra weeks a year.)

          Those extra vacation days sound like a dream. Honestly. Paid time off is the single best (and most cost-effective) benefit a company could give me.

          It did come at the expense of having to stay at home with my laptop and my pager ready during (usually) 2 weekends/quarter. Which... isn't that bad of a trade if you're fine spending the eventual weekend playing video games and watching Netflix. Weekends were usually quiet anyway
