everyone's sharing the lessons they hope people take from cohost moving forward, but i'd like to add one i haven't seen yet:
you are worth being paid fairly for the labor you put into something, even and especially if that something is a website. you are worth having days off and a set schedule, rather than always being on call. and you are worth owning the fruits of your labor, and having a say in how it is operated. please remember that.
It legitimately bothers me that people were critical of this even when otherwise they mouth all the right platitudes about the value of labor!
Yeah!!!!
Sometimes it's hard to do the right thing, and sometimes it's hard to act in self interest. But, "none of us are being paid for our labor" is such a fair halting point.
god, yeah 
a couple people close to me work in tech and engineering roles and they're just working around the clock lately. one of them has 24hr pager weeks for no extra pay where she's routinely paged awake multiple times each night. remembering when I was in software engineering and holding a pager too
imo software engineers should be hourly (and unionized)
dreading being done with grad school knowing that most of the decent paying stuff I'm still qualified for is still in software. it feels extremely hard to find any computer-related jobs that don't look like this
