Regarding #3 and #10
I think it's really sad that a high tech industry such as IT treats its workers worse than some businesses treat their manual workers. In health care there are also round-the-clock duties but nurses and doctors have shifts and don't have to work 60 hours per week to keep their job.
With this attitude IT industry is loosing many skilful workers just because they can't balance their professional and private life.
When I look at the problem from a broader perspective I conclude that the real problem is this: business owners put money, technology and other things in the center of their business. This prevails in modern capitalism around the world. Instead the integral well-being of workers, and people in general, should be in the center of a business.
