- fillskills 8mo agoFeels like my cheese has been moved
- rvnx 8mo agoI have no idea what your sentence means (as a non-English native) but I feel you. Such a waste of burnt money that could be used for more useful projects.

- mixmastamyk 8mo agoIt's a short book giving obvious advice, that one needs to embrace change, using a metaphor of mice and cheese. It receives a lot of scorn for that, despite many needing to hear the message. I'm ready to embrace change, however in this case no one cares. The cheese hasn't just been moved, it has been taken to another planet where us mice are not allowed to go.
- runlaszlorun 8mo agoOh my gosh. I was hoping that book had died a terrible death...
- sp4cec0wb0y 8mo agoYeah and who is going to foot the bill when this comes crumbling down?
- lotsofpulp 8mo agoSurely some workers are needed to build the chips, hard disk drives, datacenter, and power plants.
- teaearlgraycold 8mo agoThere seem to be plenty of jobs in SF. Although you’ll most likely end up working on some AI bullshit.

- teaearlgraycold 8mo agoI’m not an employer. But I’ve been intentionally unemployed for the last 18 months and have been lucky enough to pass on multiple jobs because they weren’t the right fit. I haven’t applied to anything. The networking is just really good here.
- mixmastamyk 8mo agoNot helpful, hand over some crumbs. I just interviewed with a cool company in San Jose. Despite the interview going quite well (unusually) last Friday they have not responded this entire week. Experience says forget about it.
- medi8r 8mo agoThe jobs are going to be mining coal, mining rare earth, building nuclear reactors, building data centres etc. You may need to move to asia to get the job.
- drivebyhooting 8mo agoProgress! I wish I could’ve lived and died one or two decades ago. Or better yet never even been.
