Investment banking and working for a telecom behemoth is not really a "tech job". I've been employed in tech for years, some 20 years by now, across multiple small tech business, some startups, a few larger orgs. I always had work to do, there's always something to be: discovered, scoped, and/or delivered; there's always some maintenance to be done on legacy systems, there's always firefighting issues of these legacy systems, after firefighting there's always the cycle of writing a post-mortem, scoping improvements, applying improvements to reduce toil. The author's experience is different, and that's fine, what's not fine is not being aware of the narrowness of your experiences and writing a blurb of noise about how "tech" (which the author doesn't really work at) requires no work and that Twitter and other tech companies shedding workers was expected through his narrow experience and worldview. That's just ignorance.
