meh. i’m a self taught former swe. i went to school for business just after 2008 crash.

times changed.

i had to adapt to 3x my take home TC to get a job at a unicorn that ipo’d to like 10x or more my NW because i felt what it was like to work in an area where ppl were just laid off and i didn’t want to work 60 hours a week to impress some suit.

my relative is a phd research biochem scientist.

he had to adapt by taking a couple of years to switch sub-fields, taking on new roles and now in his latest research role he uses AI heavily to assist him to analyze data for patterns that humans had to previously brute force. he works on cancer research btw.

adapt.

crying is cheap and easy, for people who were going to be left behind regardless.
