Why Your Best Engineers Are Leaving
from The Developer Tools Podcast with Fexingo: APIs, Infrastructure, and Software for Engineers Hosted by Fexingo
In October 2026, the tech sector is grappling with a paradox: despite record profits and AI-driven productivity gains, retention among senior software engineers is hitting historic lows. This episode dissects the 'invisible tax' of modern engineering work—context switching, meeting bloat, and tooling fatigue—that drives talent away from even the most well-funded companies. Lucas and Luna examine recent data on engineer burnout and explore why traditional equity packages are no longer enough to keep top performers engaged. #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #TechRetention #EngineerBurnout #DeveloperExperience #SoftwareEconomics #HumanCapital #TechLeadership #WorkplaceCulture #EngineeringManagement #ProductivityParadox #AIImpact #RemoteWork #TalentStrategy #CorporateHealth #DevOpsCulture #TechTrends2026 #LucasAndLuna Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
