Well, they could layoff 100% and world would be a better place to live.
It really sucks for software engineers though - first these companies made a hype out of "coding" and hacking to build those monstrosities, now they switched to squeezing the accordion to keep the music going. This is not the first time and I hope not the last one - just need new Yahoos of 20s to pop up.
- doublerabbit 6mo ago> just need new Yahoos of 20s to pop up. I'm up for building this. What dinosaur languages should we code this in? erlang, tcl and perl?
- rdevilla 6mo agoJust use lisp.
- kibwen 6mo agoYou may need to sit down for this, but when Yahoo launched, TCL was 6 years old, Perl was 7, and Erlang was 8. Today, Go is 14, Swift is 12, and Rust is 11.
- hn_acc1 6mo agoI'm still partial to Tcl from years in EDA - sign me up..
- guzfip 6mo agoHey, erlang is brilliant
- lbrito 6mo agoHaskell!
- rdevilla 6mo agoNow that I think about it, the Haskell Report did come out in '98...
- phyrex 6mo agoYou could work in Erlang, PHP, and C++ at Meta ;)
