"How it feels when EVERYONE you know gets laid off"
Perhaps due to my imperfect English, from the title I thought that everyone he knows was laid off, instead of the developers at a former employer he no longer works for.
- staringispolite 15y agoEveryone I know at Lolapps - the company that moved me out to SF in the first place - and then some. Roughly 100 out of ~114 people. And probably 80% of my friends in the SF bay area. You're right that I did use hyperbole, but it wasn't to deceive, it was to avoid an awkwardly over-specific title.

- staringispolite 15y agoLOL well you don't know me so perhaps I should expect that you don't believe me. It's pretty obvious it's not /literally/ everyone I know - my parents, for instance, happily retain their jobs on the other side of the country :) I think the intent is pretty clear from the content of the article, but I'm sorry if you felt mislead Update: Oh ok! I misunderstood
