       After a round of layoffs, Grammarly is literally hiring for my exact role that they dissolved last month.LOL, what? I ended up with a huge upgrade in all ways, but… seriously, what? This is leadership by coin flip.

       @neko Between severance and getting a better job, it worked out very well. I wouldn’t hit the undo button. It’s a little exasperating, though. Like… really?

       @tek The layoffs in the past 2+ years have been based on vibes only. Absolutely no economic reason (other than greed). It's the same cargo culting as on the tech side: if FAANG fires people (uses Kubernetes), they must have a very good reason. Let's do the same and we will prosper!This was true even pre-LLM and it's now exacerbated by trying to replace pesky humans with digital slaves.

       @tek Someone is getting an upgrade too. Win-win.

       @jdoe Sort of, as long as they’re not counting on stability.

       @tek Did you read about Klarna? They stopped hiring devs and said AI would make up for the loss to churn. A year later, their evaluation is that AI output sucks and they'll need to hire devs again.
