I don't get this. It's highly difficult to find vast troves of military reserves (ie: bodies who can do military stuff) in war time. That's what bootcamp and sergeants are for. Hell my sister (print sales) joined a new firm a

Right but where are Atlassian's layoffs, Asana, or any of the other hundreds of "lower" tier tech companies? It's unusual that they're all skating by, to me.

Between Discord, Twitch, Amazon+Prime, and Google... what's the layoff pattern here? Are we talking about social community teams? Streaming/networking engineers? Or is there no connective thread between these four companies? Are t

So this is just a new annual tech industry thing yeah? Because every year it happens, and always the same excuses. This screams of a boiling the frog strategy.

Can someone explain this systemic hiring phenomena? A pandemic hits and every corporation thinks that's the time to hire and scale by gross multipliers? Why? Whose idea was this? How did it catch on everywhere?

This has been done for decades. Anyone remember delicious? And in the late 90s we had Linkdup. They always seem to come and go for some reason.

I agree fully with you. And I've read Kiss The Ground. Twice. But certain biomarkers in average are oddly doing ok. It's weird.

If this has been happening for decades, why are lifespans still increasing, why are average heights of new generations increasing, etc? I know PFAS are hormonal disrupters in research but it seems like most people are doing... just fine?

We don't need "news". We need a basic event log. Hard cold events, timestamped. Every vote a politician makes on every issue. Every murder. Every time a mass shooting happens. Every time oil spills. Every time Boeing loses a

So: What big brain moves did you think Twilio should have made during your 4 year tenure there that they failed to do?

Is Htmx just the long overdue successor to DHTML that was all the hype in, say, 1997?
