#microsoft before this layoff, microsoft had 1k *more* employees than in 2022; a surplus of *10k* than pre-2020s. they're still fixing the crazy COVID hiring spree, while periodically showing investors: "we're cutting costs we're going so make *so much* money, zomg". that's it. no need to panic.

also, laying off thousands of people at once like this "drugs" the labor market, in favour of big tech ofc, where there's a major human capital dependency. ... just like LLM coding, the goal is, and always will be: controlling the means of production of the millennia. see: bsky.app/profile/veni...

The following might sound weird. But it's more evident than *ever* that code assisting tools lead me to *instant* debt. Yeah, I know, I'm doing it wrong. Hold on. When I fix their mess, I realize like these *products* are *designed* to behave like this. It's very subtle and *very* dangerous.
