      My perspective is radically different than yours. I must have hit a nerve.

      I imagine his issue is that there are no good patterns listed. Although it may be aimed at helping people avoid bad companies it could also easily be seen as "everything is shit, just stay away from tech"

      “Just stay away from tech” is the conclusion a lot of the people I know have come to. The field in general is really bad. Especially from the outside. Once you’re inside and being highly paid to basically keep your eyes closed it’s not so bad, I guess.

      I really have no ponies in this race anymore. I’m telling it like it is - and the truly good companies will appreciate it because they won’t fit any of these patterns.

      You are taking your life experience and stretching into general, widely-cast nets over the entire industry. You do you, but I'm just telling, I disagree, I know the industry as well as you do, I know companies and people, and my view is that there are no categories.

      I'll say that even experience within single company can vary from office to office, from studio to studio. I heard people on twitter are praising company where I worked at 30C in office, abusive lead, who drank during office hours and HR turning blind eye on situation.

      Totally. In fact if you ask two different ppl from a team their experience about how the team works, chances are they will give totally different answers. Unless things are way off the average

      That’s also why I never care about ppl opinions of other people or jobs. Unless I know them well and I know they think like me, experiences simply do not translate to other ppl. I learned this “early” since university, where ppl’s opinions of professors proved to be unreliable

      Exactly everything depends on specific circumstances. My friend was in good relationship with that lead, was held in high regards and it was totally different for him, though he has other complaints about that company, like climate in office or low salary.

      "There are no categories" - this isn't true. I've seen many of these patterns repeated over and over again. I've had replies right here on Twitter confirming some of them. I've seen multiple instances of many of the company types I've pointed out.

      The are companies formed by 1+ manipulators out there that will exploit developers. There are abusive publishers who help fund or start companies who work their employees to death. There are many firms that work with 2+ publishers who lie about what the devs do. It's what happens

          ...and you have seen some posts agreeing with me and you would find more if you look. That’s what I am saying. YMMV and there are no general categories! But hey, if you want to take your anecdotes and codify them into laws, it’s your prerogative. And I would still “100% disagree”

          My biggest peeve @richgel999 is that you really aren't doing anything to prevent someone from making the "mistake" of working at one of these companies in the first place. You tweet and blog a lot with winks and nods to who these companies are but rarely, if ever, name them.

          You're doing what you need to do to protect yourself, not make enemies, not make news etc, but what you're doing isn't really helping anyone IMO. You don't give these companies (or their employees!) a chance to defend the culture they have now vs what you think they had years ago

          You assume all of these companies still exist to defend themselves. Many abused their employees, lied to them, exploited them through lots of crunching, and then went under leaving their employees high and dry. In many cases the founders go and do it all over again.

          Most (all?) of the resistance to these basic concepts comes from highly privileged, highly paid corporate tech company employees. I suspect you are too far in the trees to see the forest here.
