saos··on Zoom lays off 15% of employees
I don't have anything against bootcamp but I see common pattern:

1. They are in it for money 2. They are in it for the lifestyle 3. They suffer big on by imposter syndrome

The programmers I've worked with over the years were just passionate about programming and thats why they entered the field. They spend years refining the craft. But, now it has drastically changed. The next generation what it "now". Everything "now". They want to buy a home "now". They want new shows "now".

saos··on Meta to ask many managers to become individual contributors or leave
Yeah I always thought manager should also be able to do the job. But that seems to have changed these last few years.
saos··on Zoom lays off 15% of employees
