I have no idea what article was trying to convey since on call was poorly defined

I also couldn’t take it seriously when article opened with this.

> Startups cannot afford engineers to baby sit software, big tech does.

Say what? As ops person, I’ve seen multiple startups where devs are drowning in operational issues because software was written enough for feature MVP, ship with poor testing then constantly poke at with sticks to keep it working in hopes they could get enough revenue to not flame out.
