I’m at least happy head hunters stopped spamming my LinkedIn
Sorry guys I just took it. Now, 0 jobs.
Time to learn 2 code
You’ll make so much money!
I wonder how bad the reputational damage all these layoffs is? I wouldn't be surprised if those big tech companies have a bit of trouble when they start hiring again.
I suspect there are plenty of fresh college grads eager to fill those roles when the time comes. So, their quality of hiring might suffer, and so too will the quality of their products.
Of course, if AI can solve for program correctness by then, this is all moot =] maybe they’re banking on that.
