So in conclusion, friendships happen via function or temporal need, and that's a truth for a lot of people. Thanks for lowering the bar, game theory.

Amazon is the literal expression of pied piper consumption. You know what would mess with Amazons dominance? Consumers having critical thinking skills enough to make long term decisions. Everyone here knows what the game is, which is kind of disgusting/amusing/predictable. Carry on :) Particularly you, Bezo/Freud/Bernays, you lovable sociopaths. Here for the comedy not for the crowd.

I figured it wasn't yours based on post history - and its not an exploit site either that I can tell. Just very confusing! :)

Someone making $100k should easily be able to save $1k a month wherever they are living in the world and put it into a fund making at least 15% a year.

Here's some mind blowing advice - stop buying useless ornaments that do nothing to elevate you or enhance your life in meaningful ways. People have been hoodwinked into buying junk and stand there teary eyed wondering how it all happened and why they're so empty inside. How they went so far but did so little.

This years black friday/cyber monday sales were extraordinary - because people are idiots.

It's not a mystery. Make conscious choices in your life and you won't be a victim. Someone making 6 figures is the last person anyone should feel sad for.

The biggest red flag about what you're saying is that it implies work done by the team (junior or not) isn't tied to specific goals our outcomes for the organization.

Having work sit in branches un-merged for an indeterminate amount of time is terrible management and a terrible work culture. Your org sounds rudderless.

I'd suggest revisiting your roadmap and sanity checking with your stake holders that the work devs are doing is actually meaningful, and regularly calibrating amongst yourselves with agile ceremonies such as backlog grooming, sprint planning, daily checkins, retrospectives and internal demos/UAT.

Even if you don't follow an agile process, regular (ego free) retrospectives with your team mates is the most beneficial of all ceremonies.

I'm not calling out junior devs here on purpose, it seems like an organizational culture problem tbh, and your senior devs are not acting very senior by failing to mentor and assist younger team members ;)
