Might there be a glut of software engineers soon? Perhaps the pompous Birdsite employees that left voluntary will regret that decision in the near future? Just some musings of my own …
10,000 Google Employees Could Be Rated as Low Performers — The Information https://www.theinformation.com/articles/10-000-google-employees-could-be-rated-as-low-performers?rc=8aq5ai&utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email
@obi I'm not the saviest around, could you explain to this dumbarse the significance of the learntocoalmine tag?
@marathon0 when coal miners were losing their jobs, mainly in WV a few years ago, it was being discussed on the news a lot. The left wing media was suggesting (mirrored by other left wing news) that the coal miners would just need to adapt, and Learn to Code. A little ridiculous, for the type of job and experience they were coming from, but they kept saying it. Then, a bit later, some journalists were losing their job, and the right wing were Tweeting them with the hastag #learntocode . This got trending, and Twitter a believe banned/suppressed the hashtag and was banning people who said it to the journalists, saying it was "harassment". After seeing the twitter engineers losing their job, the first thing I thought of was well, they have to adapt, the can #leaentocoalmine . Obviously a ridiculous statement, but the same thing people were saying to the coal miners.
Sorry, probably not many people would get that I guess. My bad.
@obi Ah makes perfect sense. :-)
