> Ask developers to propose work-life goals and objectives

I think I'd just hand my notice in. If that was ever asked of me.

The whole article feels way over the top and honestly suffocating. Most people I work with struggle through the usual set of goals/targets every year and hate every minute of it. People are complex and have a wide variety of skills, treating people like this isn't motivational and you'll find good people moving elsewhere.

My anxiety levels literally started rising when I read that line. It's another example of developers being infantalized, instead of treating them as highly trained professionals.
