       Heartbreaking update from #tailwindcss. They had to lay off 75% of their staff yesterday due to #AI driven losses.I really don't see how the #OpenSource industry survives this. The days of making your source and your docs open to the public is quickly disappearing.https://github.com/tailwindlabs/tailwindcss.com/pull/2388#issuecomment-3717222957#CSS #PHP #WebDev #HTML #coding #programming #LLM

       A lot of the discourse about #Tailwind has been "How did they even expect to scale anyway?"l know our industry doesn't understand this, but not everything has to "scale". Keeping a small team comfortably employed, working on something they enjoy with people they like _is_ a success story.A business isn't a failure if it isn't growing.#WebDev #Business

       I can't help thinking of Jeffrey Way's podcast talking about lost traffic to #Laracasts and him trying to figure out what that will mean for his business and that was a while ago.Dark days are here guys.#Laravel #PHP

       My company, Avinus, has had 1 employee (me) for 15+ years. Sometimes it was a side-hustle. Now it fills as many hours of enjoyable work as I want. I do projects I'm interested in, for cool customers doing awesome things. It gives my family the extra income we need with the flexibility that lets me be the kind of parent I want to be.It's a (my) success story.Stop acting like a company that isn't growing rapidly is already in the grave.

       If more of us enjoyed & sought out employment at small businesses, we'd be more insulated from the whims of a handful of billionaires.

       @syntaxseed Publicly traded corporations are designed around growth. Real businesses are not. Grocery stores (if there are any left) etc.
