Does google allow you to preauthorize your purchasing card? It seems like part of this is that they all of the sudden get suspicious about your billing information.

Checks one from the 90's:

I won't hold my breath!

> Great developers, more often than not, get bored. If they have any sort of intellectual curiosity, they will leave.

This is a good point. When you're skilled and have a good network, there's no point in putting up with a bad manager or an uninteresting or underpaid role.

The only buzzword missing from that list is blockchain, and I’m sure they would add it if they could.

I was recently testing the water with some Facebook engineers about switching companies because of privacy related concerns. There was some sympathy wrt the company going in a bad direction, but by and large they were staying put because they enjoyed the technical challenges presented to them and pay. I think stories like this are mostly fluff. Most engineers simply don’t care.
