One study found that being laid off ranked seventh among the most stressful life experiences — above divorce, a sudden and serious impairment of hearing or vision, or the death of a close friend. Experts advise that it takes, on average, two years to recover from the psychological trauma of losing a job.

For healthy employees without pre-existing health conditions, the odds of developing a new health condition rise by 83% in the first 15 to 18 months after a layoff, with the most common conditions being stress-related illnesses, including hypertension, heart disease, and arthritis. The psychological and financial pressure of being laid off can increase the risk of suicide by 1.3 to 3 times. Displaced workers have twice the risk of developing depression, four times the risk of substance abuse, and six times the risk of committing violent acts including partner and child abuse. The stress induced by a layoff can even impair fetal development.

I use next script. It creates temporarily dir for firefox, uses it as a profile dir and remove after firefox closed.

   #!/bin/sh -e
   DIR="${XDG_CACHE_HOME:-$HOME/.cache}"
   mkdir -p -- "$DIR"
   TEMP="$(mktemp -d -- "$DIR/firefox-XXXXXX")"
   trap "rm -rf -- '$TEMP'" INT TERM EXIT
   wget 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pyllyukko/user.js/master/user.js' -O "$TEMP/user.js"
   firefox -profile "$TEMP" -no-remote "$@"

It also uses very hardened options from https://github.com/pyllyukko/user.js

It is not my invention, but I lost a link to blog post

> In technology, it is common for technical resources to not be on the same level of communication as the business.

I respect Joel and his experience. I just don't see connection between first part of article (unable to start) and second one (fire and motion). Can you make it more clear for me?

They don't install drivers into servers, you have to do it by yourself. EULA attached to drivers, not hardware

I think you underestimate quality of outsource workers around a world. I am not talking specifically about India. For 10k/month you get a very good developer for a short(1 month) gig in Europe. For long-term(3-6 month) gig price is even lower.

From your side as a person who understands project you can propose technical leading for a project, e.g. 1 day/week for 1 month. But you need to decide how to handle conflicts. Outsourcers has no initiatives to follow your recommendations.
