im assuming someone has written about this but its really odd(not actually) that all of these tech layoffs are almost all the senoir weird people and minorities

its almost like they put up with us long enough to get all the prior art and now believe they can go back to only talking to people who see the same small painting of reality they do

we had 40yrs of telling them "well actually we cant get faster horses" which made them all so mad and now that they have a fake person who promises the impossible they dont actually care if it works.

to every young person out there truth matters more than anything else

also one important truth is you dont owe other people the truth when they dont value it. give the king the lies he wants, maybe oneday you can poison him

i literally had a Director of Product(not @skinnylatte who would not pull this shit) take a thing that I said, frankly a simple statement about platform engineering thats very commonly held, and asked ChatGPT what I meant by that and then had the gal to tell me what i meant instead of just talking to me

this is not psychosis, this is narcissism will new tools

@glassresistor @skinnylatte @rootwyrm thinking about my former director, who favored whatever Copilot told him over the input of his own SMEs. Not missing him in my new role.

@glassresistor @skinnylatte @rootwyrm to his credit, he eventually scaled back on it, but that’s only because I had a near-Resume Generating Event blowing up 45 minutes into a 15 minute standup, and that was a big enough deal to catch the attention of people he had to listen to, unlike us.

@glassresistor @skinnylatte @rootwyrm damning with faint praise, at least he was smart enough to course correct when doubling down would have put his job on the line. Some folks don’t even have that.
