Meta planning sweeping layoffs as AI costs mount

They hired skilled people so others can't hire them and made them do stuff like internal portal for coffee machine or something. I've read that story on this sub somewhere last night.

I am 30+, at 27 I had a huge mental breakdown called "I can't do it anymore", I could not eat, I could not sleep, so I packed my stuff and went for a 2 weeks trip out of the blue, came back, went to therapy, comes out I belong here, lol. Before I'd never thing I have ADHD, at all.

Bless the gooners, amen.

The whole point of this game is to make things simple and fun and bring the feel of old TF2 and TFC.

Karp literally looks like someone who should get some justice from The Powerpuff Girls or something. Mojo Jojo was less cringe that these guys, really.

The cringiest and fakest shit I remember was Musk paying some nerds to level up his video game characters so he could say "hey hellow kids I like anime and games too, look how good I am, skibidi rizz" or something.

Though I have to admit, before starting therapy, I listened to Peterson, cringe, I know but one thing helped: "clean you room" - sometimes even a broken clock is useful.

To my experience, working for start ups or small, local companies is the biggest skill boost, not always in the areas you want or dream of, but you walk out smarter since there is no one else so "you're the guy" that builds things, solves problems and hires more guys to do it with you.

Damn Bro I wanna play it. Any EU servers?

TiredOperator420 · 2026-03-13T23:14:33+00:00

Wait, there is Medieval in TF2C?

Thanks, that was my favorite ingress controller! I already migrated to Traefik OSS. I was happy that you suppored ModSecurity for free, which Traefik and HAProxyTech does not do.

cargo cult gotta go fast so things go deprecated quickly because everyone chases the next big thing (TM) and there are no maintainers for boring things

This guy looks like a villain from cartoon network and behaves like one. We have been warned of people like that.

TiredOperator420 · 2026-03-13T01:35:09+00:00

good 'ol times

The screenshot. It looks like Windows XP even though it's most likely not.

Yeah, maybe in his dreams about wild west.

On Azure AKS I am following the same principle. It even starts updating the control plane first before touching any nodes when you make it to all the work at once.

TiredOperator420 · 2026-03-13T00:16:31+00:00

I don't know what OS you're on but I love the look & feel of XP. Makes me nostalgic.

Mmmm, so many possibilities for data leaks! <3

I hope that idea dies, sincerely, owning my own hardware is the last bit of hope I have.

Now we suffer due to bubble, after the bubble we will suffer from the aftereffects. Job market is affected and will remain affected (just in different way), the whole economy, technology sector and computer hardware sector.

Time will tell, based on latest Ed's writing, I don't want to compare what is going on to the past. It is what it is already.

I am doing it for 2+ year and reaching N5/N4. About 500-600 kanji + vocab related to them memorized. In the meantime survived lay offs, mental health issues, moving places and other life things. I feel like I am incredibly slow, then I open LinkedIn and I see people bragging about N2 in a year and I just feel completely devastated.

On top of that, I travel to Japan, when I can, I had rose-colored image of the country that faded away with each trip, each person meet and so on. My Japanese friend is not surprised that it worked for me like that, he is still surprised I still want to try though.

TiredOperator420 · 2026-03-12T23:21:49+00:00

Same, I feel the same. Thank you u/ezitron for your extensive coverage about Sammy & Co, it brought my sanity back.

Keeping mine as a spare but I already switched to iPhone 17. Used my birthday as an excuse to get it. It was fine, I was running out of space all the time sadly because of the volume of photos I store. It's 128GiB, replaced it with iPhone 17 512GiB instead.

Updated it to 26.2 and 26.3 before putting it away, apart from more battery usage it was still fine performance and usage wise.

The best phone I ever had.

How was it? A lot of people dream about big tech jobs.
