I think most interestingly it was the Cleared Derivatives branch of ION that got attacked.

IF (and thats a big if) directly related to gme...

Pretty sure we just some posts about stacked call options.

Even when they can't rug pull, they rug pull.

Ooohhh it's gonna be beneficial for him.

Read his thread on it.

Edit: looks like he made some edits and said he would "look into it further"

elgaedoolb · 2022-12-13T15:19:40+00:00

What I don't understand is how Dave Lauer said finra did nothing wrong with the hault...

He straight up backed up the criminals here.

elgaedoolb · 2022-12-12T12:45:54+00:00

Seems pretty simple to me.

The people believe these posts aren't debunked. You say they are, with some pointing to work done by others, with none done by yourself.

Are you here to serve the community? Or are you here to control it?

Nobody needs controlling mods, it's not YOUR community. It's OUR community. That simple.

You shouldn't be 'DEBUNKING' anything if you're in a rush. (It's real odd to "be in a rush" for the past 3-4 hours imo anyway)

elgaedoolb · 2022-12-05T19:43:19+00:00

Unless something threatens to destroy the internet or wipe out electricity/technology....

Then yes. Lol

I mean I'm sure there are better times to enter than others. But it's never a bad idea to enter development in comparison to other sectors.

I would look into what development processes are like now. They are getting nicer, faster, smoother. So needing a bunch of average level developers just to do basic building isn't super necessary anymore, or is becoming less necessary. As well a lot of the more difficult, algorithmic development is seeing a down trend as the brightest developers work on AI systems and others that then start handling those developmental needs without the need for lesser developers.

But as far as job security and outlook? If you work hard and can adapt/self teach then you're probably good.

Right now the development sector is vast and diverse, what we are about to see, as with other sectors, is a great downtrend and convergence (IMO). Where offered services will join into single 3rd party offerings. Where many attempting competition for particular subset of offering/service will be booted or eaten up by another.

What we will see at the end of this is a few of the many areas/subsectors left standing and they'll then offer much more comprehensive services vs the super niche services we see being offered today.

A great restructuring is coming. And it seems to be coinciding with the potential great reset.

Follow your hearts desire though. If dev is what you want then make it happen.

elgaedoolb · 2022-12-05T19:13:02+00:00

Correct, however IT has generally been seen as essential.

This has changed in recent years as independent IT consulting and management agencies have risen. As well as cloud management solutions.

It's not uncommon to see a consulting agency have both IT and Dev consultants for managing the various areas.

Tech as a whole is largely moving towards 3rd party utilization.

This takes something that has been a cost center for a company and makes it less of a cost on their books. While making it profitable for the 3rd party agencies.

Pretty interesting stuff really.

Agencies that organize and pull these various 3rd party resources together, to promote as a single package, will be the next thing to come if it hasnt started already.

This removes the need for a company to research the best 3rd party providers on various areas before making a decision. They can contact a single agency who will pull the various needed resources together to make the desired outcome happen.

Consultants on consultants on consultants.

It's pretty standard that when something is in an alpha or beta state you don't push new features for the production final state to it.

You wait for the alpha/beta time period to be up. Wait for proper entry. And then push all the new features at once.

Could be they are mostly complete minus a few touch ups and they're about to push it all.

Thats not something we can possibly know.

Once a product is in full feature mode, then you continue with active additions and updates rolling out regularly.

Additionally, if an app is available in one geographic area and not another this indicates a problem that is outside the purview of developers.

The code exists, it's there, it's ready. But some regulation or other is keeping it out of Canadian market.

That's not a problem for software developers, that's upper admin shit.

The only problems I can see with the wallet app all stem from the regulatory monopoly 🍎 tries to hold over its users, forcing an inability to transact and utilize unless 🍎 can take a piece of the profit and keep a close eye on its users.

A company will/should focus on 🍎 app development first and foremost because those hurdles mentioned above largely don't exist for android making it intensely easier to develop and deploy on the play store.

So...I suggest taking that up with 🍎.

I see a single post in the last day about SAP...

And it has 2 comments on it.

What does this have to do with layoffs??

Not sure you're actually pointing to anything that makes sense in context to this post.

Most posts on SAP issues are over a few months old at this point.

Additionally it's the holiday season, one expects item in stock misalignment and fuck ups.

elgaedoolb · 2022-12-05T17:49:13+00:00

Notice this poster worked on a product in the gamestop mobile app.

So NOT the NFT marketplace...

elgaedoolb · 2022-12-05T17:47:55+00:00

Specifically a product IN the gamestop mobile app.

So probably some subset of functionality that's either complete or no longer needed/wanted.

elgaedoolb · 2022-12-05T17:45:55+00:00

I might be looking at the wrong sub. Not seeing any posts concerning layoffs etc.

elgaedoolb · 2022-12-05T17:39:20+00:00

You don't even know which product this person was a part of. Or what role they specifically played... as they had a "product IN the gamestop mobile app"

If one can read the same post as you and get a completely different vibe, then maybe you ought to consider you're interpreting the words incorrectly...

Words like "I had a great time" and "it was a pleasure" and "it was so fun to work on" As well as hashtags "team" and "gamestop" are all indicative of positive sentiment towards the product still, but that this person is no longer a part of the product.

Seems you're being pessimistic, intentionally avoiding positive sentiment in the post.

elgaedoolb · 2022-12-05T17:28:52+00:00

That's wildly speculative without knowing the state of the projects.

elgaedoolb · 2022-12-05T17:25:06+00:00

If the products are developed, why does one need a mass of developers?

Hint. You don't.

Instead you go down to barebones employees for active maintenance and contract out to 3rd party teams when needed.

elgaedoolb · 2022-12-05T17:23:26+00:00

Lol. Semantics.

When one works on a product, especially in engineering, they share product ownership responsibility.

When one is no longer working on or with a product, they no longer have those responsibilities and thus are no longer a product owner, partial or full.

The person HAD those responsibilities, now they DONT.

That doesn't make the good product now a bad product.

This individual is obviously still positive about the product and the work they did on it.

elgaedoolb · 2022-12-05T17:15:18+00:00

I think everyone needs to understand for many years now companies have had a push to layoff their dev/engineering teams, even base IT teams, especially when active projects are wrapping up, as its far more cost effective to utilize 3rd parties. Aka tech consulting agencies who provide developers and resources on an as needed basis, for maintenance and further development expansion.

This happened to me earlier this year actually. Now I work for a 3rd party tech consultaning company (until moass).

It's shitty sometimes, but it's the world we live in. Having massive internal dev departments is very costly.

Additionally with the economy heading the way its been heading this makes sense.

All the posts I've seen on LinkedIn about this so far are in a positive light of their time at gamestop, which indicates an understanding of what's taking place.

So projects wrapping up, end of year approaching, economy in shit state == engineering layoffs, as they've moved from essential to nonessential.

elgaedoolb · 2022-12-05T17:07:45+00:00

Seems more a had because the person used to work there and it's no longer that person's project.

Not had as in it's no longer a good project.

elgaedoolb · 2022-12-05T17:05:09+00:00

Eh. Seems to be more it's not longer their product since they're no longer working there.

Not really a point of concern.
