I took that to mean ”we don’t really need anyone right now, but if someone who is very good applies, we’ll hire them”.

devaluation, but also just knowing if we could replace people.

I have 5 Sr. Devs and if any of them split, how long would it take me to replace them? and at what rate? and what skillsets will they have and not have?
