I heard the average tenure for an SDE at amazon is something like 9 months. The culture is so repulsive that if you're good you leave soon and convert that big name on your CV to something better. I know a few really good ex AWS engineers and the thing in common is they hate Amazon and will rant about how dumb the culture is.

The h1bs at Amazon were some of the most abysmal software developers I've seen in my life

A significant amount of modern academia would dissolve if this was applied

I use conductor with git worktrees and will literally have 10 or 20 running at a time getting pinged as they finish stuff for me to review, mostly getting rid of small ticket and doing random POCs while I focus on bigger stuff, the bottleneck has literally become the company doesn't have enough stuff to give me. It only really works however because I have a lot of context and understanding of the codebase. It's already here.

It's like saying we won't use compilers because it puts all the people who would manually create punch cards out of a job

Every time I read about someone's woes with git I have no idea how people run into certain scenarios or what people are even talking about, it reads like "if you've ever tried to unfrobnicate all non-downstream flanges without rebasing your head ref onto the flange upstream of your commit, you'll know this is really hard to do in git", I just think great I have never tried to do that in 20 years of git usage and have no idea what I'd want to, I'm just going to keep using the same ~5 commands and avoiding complexity which has served me well and allowed to avoid any crazy vcs issues that seem to plague other developers

Nice! I love it when a language introduces new syntax for things that weren't remotely difficult in the first place!
