Great points. I appreciate it.

>and idiots who show up for interviews late in gym shorts and a Metallica t-shirt who don't know what the company they're interviewing at does

This made me smile. Thanks for brightening my day!

Thanks everyone, great advice.

For all those saying "get a new job": not that simple. Immigration. If things are real shitty (which they aren't!), I'll get a new job anyway and move back home. But I'd rather not.

Totally agree with all your points except

>there's not a lot of empirical evidence to support claims that automated tests will improve developer productivity or code quality.

If you'd have said "there aren't any published papers _proving_ this" I would've agreed simply because I do not know if such studies exist or not (they might); but I'd argue that automated tests obviously improve code quality and productivity. And also ramp up time, which is important in fast growing teams (my case).
