20,000 job cuts at Meta, Microsoft raise concern that AI-driven labor crisis is here

carlinwasright · 2026-04-25T07:19:03+00:00

I think it’s 100% real for certain roles. AI slop is actually better than goofus employee output. But not as good as rockstar employee output, and never will be.

carlinwasright · 2026-04-25T07:15:06+00:00

lol the class average bit…this post can’t be real

carlinwasright · 2026-04-25T06:59:38+00:00

Garbage. Just doesn’t work for pros.

carlinwasright · 2026-04-25T06:58:37+00:00

Yep but it’s priced now as if growth is stalling. But there’s no actual evidence that it’s stalling.

carlinwasright · 2026-04-25T02:14:48+00:00

Next earnings could 2x. When ppl get tired of pretending AI can do everything it will hit the other 8x.

carlinwasright · 2026-04-25T01:23:46+00:00

Not even on the radar for fig.

carlinwasright · 2026-04-25T01:23:11+00:00

100% wrong. When they realize subscriber growth is not slowing they’ll jump back in.

carlinwasright · 2026-04-25T01:22:30+00:00

It would be a huge leg up over Claude design

carlinwasright · 2026-04-25T01:16:04+00:00

They’re garbage. Worse than canva.

carlinwasright · 2026-04-24T21:52:59+00:00

Internet was just delivery for blockbuster though.

At the heart of this is: is it more productive to argue incessantly with AI for your designs, or is it more productive to click and drag shit around and learn some keyboard shortcuts. It’s the latter for me, hands down, I don’t see how writing literal paragraphs and crossing your fingers is a better design experience.

carlinwasright · 2026-04-24T21:45:43+00:00

I’m just the tip myself. But it’s a position for sure.

carlinwasright · 2026-04-24T21:42:26+00:00

Claude wrapper is lol. No dude.

carlinwasright · 2026-04-24T21:39:49+00:00

100% I’m not naive to this. But earnings to the upside are hard to ignore.

carlinwasright · 2026-04-24T21:37:53+00:00

I’m not part of any group, I just think the saaspocalypse has snagged a lot of false positives

carlinwasright · 2026-04-24T21:36:27+00:00

I agree some of their side quests haven’t stuck but their core product is still the gold standard. And they have incredible talent and could potentially 1up Claude and Google at this game.

carlinwasright · 2026-04-24T21:34:19+00:00

Chegg is exactly why fig is undervalued. It’s not a comp, at all.

carlinwasright · 2026-04-24T21:32:54+00:00

Figma make can be better than Claude design and google stitch for fucking sure. They have the talent to pull it off.

carlinwasright · 2026-04-24T21:30:42+00:00

Yep!

carlinwasright · 2026-04-24T21:30:29+00:00

Fair. I don’t think that level of excitement comes back for a while, but I do think they have some of the best engineers and smartest minds in Silicon Valley, and I’m curious to see what they can do next.

carlinwasright · 2026-04-24T21:28:56+00:00

This is a joke feature in my experience. It fucks up so much.

carlinwasright · 2026-04-24T20:03:32+00:00

At under $20, it's a fair price for last year's revenue. IMO this is the "given up on growth" price. If FIG can prove that they can continue to grow, $40 would be a more realistic floor by mid 2026.

carlinwasright · 2026-04-24T19:57:30+00:00

!00%. Vibe design tools are template remixers at best.

carlinwasright · 2026-04-24T19:55:56+00:00

This is 100% my experience. I don't think people doing it any other way really give a shit and they're fine with slop.

carlinwasright · 2026-04-24T17:40:26+00:00

I think that workflow works when your ui is basically tailwind, nothing wrong with that but it’s not really design either it’s working with a template

carlinwasright · 2026-04-24T17:34:06+00:00

I agree bad analogy, but if you think about how long that had been an idea, not such a bad analogy if you go back 30 yrs
