Or they will find a way to hit you...

Safer to call them AI layoffs...

I agree these are pre-recession layoffs...

AI is a great cover...

The problem is if enough companies do "pre-recession" layoffs we will have even deeper actual recession...

Ability to bullshit one's way up is one of key management skills...

when you live near the poles 1h shift won't change much... your day last couple months... same night...

... while actually they business suffers and they must do the cuts...

but if they name it AI-efficiency - then it is win-win...

they reduce the workforce and they can pretend to be very advanced in AI technology instead of losing business as it actually happens...

Managers want to show to CEOs how smart and useful they are and talk about AI a lot...

Same CEOs when talking to shareholders...

In reality saving are much harder to find as it requires expensive AI experts and training and then someone has to fix the problems introduced by AI hallucinations and similar...

mine has 2 USBA and 3 USBC

Maybe instead of bigger airplanes we could use a swarm of drones...

They could deliver the blade not near but exactly at the mount point....

... and software syncing them...

How my RTO would allow collaboration if I am in a global team from 4 different countries?

From my country there are 5 guys, only 2 of them are in the same city.

I've been working with over 30 programming languages and Python definitely one of the least offenders with just one big 2 to 3 migration.

Just recently I've spent weeks to handle R upgrade - similar upgrade took 1,5 day with Python...

I'd used Perl for years but switched to Python in 1999-2000.

It was very good move - no regret at all.

Sure the code is a bit longer but it is much more readable. When I am back after 6 months I still understand what I did in Python.

In Perl it is a challenge...

Because we should not allow externalization of costs?

So if your gas contributes to fires or floods or bombed building funded by it - you pay your share...

Gas prices should include cost of climate change and of war in Ukraine.

Then we can talk about "consumer's freedom"

If career starts at 21 and ends at 65 then ideally the workforce should be roughly uniformly distributed so average age should be like 43.

IT was and still heavily biased and ageism is rampant...

Average 36 or even 39 still favors younger workers... Once it grows past 43 we should worry...
