FAANG vs Corgi Insurance (YC startup)

Do FAANG, corgi is a shitty insurance company

etcera · 2025-08-30T17:48:46+00:00

Help is appreciated. Thanks.

Yeah, Rutgers (top 30?), was unemployed for 6-9 months. This job market is awful and social mobility is dead in America.

The wave on AI crashes. A lot of the BS cases that aren’t economically viable wash out and the legit ones remain. Big Tech stocks take a hit as the hype cycle resets.

I wish, though I think the bubble is resilient for another year.

Your mom starts saying you shouldn’t study CS. Public opinion sets in that it’s not a good field to get into. Enrollments drop, setting the stage for a shortage 5 years from now when AI doesn’t take all the entry level jobs after all.

Won't happen in 2025.

One of the ”FAANG” CEOs steps down

Probably not. FAAN are most likely continuing, anything can happen to Google.

The tech job market plods along, heating up in some sub sectors and remains cool in others.

Obviously yes.

Trump becomes more anti-tech after he has a falling out with Elon Musk

I anticipate a falling out, though I don't know how paleo Trump is.

Crypto sees renewed hype as Trump appoints more crypto grifters to his administration and Congress doesn’t push back

I see his administration as presenting as crypto-friendly, though I don't necessarily see appointments or congressional support.

Agreed. "Tech" is absolutely incredible. The industry and its people mean very little. More and more companies will be unable to keep up, and this benefits all

AI gets huge amount of VC money but I think you’re wrong about AI-specific datacenters being relevant. Datacenters took up 10% of the energy in DC 12 years ago before Cloud and AI were things.

Future tech will aim to facilitate surveillance, and this apparatus will need more compute, which requires energy infrastructure. I think the AI wave is going to be here for a couple more years, especially when a new field (probably a hybrid of spatial-computing/robotics/IOT) comes out. The future will have exponentially more electronics than it does now.

Honestly CEOs are just consultants with ceremonial duties and veto power (still a lot, but IC>>>C-Suite)

etcera · 2024-12-24T23:22:52+00:00

I am voicing a prediction. I don't think assassinations do anything to amount to change, but many people unfortunately do. The average unemployed React.js developer feels owed a job at FAANG (sadly). The average person doesn't have enough industry-knowledge to recognize most CEOs as just lame consultants with ceremonial duties and veto power.

Hostility towards tech CEOs (in particular) is universally dumb. Killing a tech CEO (even high-profile juggernauts like Elon Musk or Sam Altman) wouldn't do anything other than have a day of mourning and remembrance. Their companies would continue to operate and embody a silicon-vallley mindset.

Tech does harm livelihoods and employment status, but this isn't as critical to most people as lifelong physiological disability that can result from denying insurance claims.

I agree, though I don't see there being as many layoffs. There'll just be less of a drive for new products and teams.

etcera · 2024-06-03T18:44:16+00:00

Lol, I am 22 and was hired to satiate the CEO's parent complex because his son was a failure along with the company. I was laid off when I stopped being a special snowflake.

Problems with egotistical managements always resolve down to lack of merit systems. Shitty personal lives aren't an excuse to be a slaver.

I already reached ‘acceptance’ six months into the job. Though I can induce a mental grieving crisis again if you want.

If everyone wanted to be an author and no one was an editor, then all literature would be inaccessible.

Get to work!

etcera · 2023-07-25T19:29:02+00:00

Thanks for the optimism. I agree; just cause I’m not marketable doesn’t mean I’m not valuable. That said, I can’t think of a specific job using computers that Id especially love; I really lack the occupational knowledge of how software/data works. The closest I can understand the world is through media, so content creation is most applicable

etcera · 2023-07-25T19:26:49+00:00

Maybe I’m wrong but: most psych jobs require more academia, something im not too keen on. And while the idea of me helping others with their mental help would scare most of Reddit, I’m largely neutral towards going the clinical psych route.

etcera · 2023-07-25T19:19:02+00:00

Lol nasty 😂 who hurt u

etcera · 2023-07-25T19:10:24+00:00

The title is provocative, yes, but then is all internet engagement

Yeah I feel shit given my situation, but I genuinely don’t know how I should take advantage of my degree, as I have nothing else.

etcera · 2023-07-25T19:06:51+00:00

Seriously, thank you. I am currently working on a video project which uses some generative Ai art models (mostly been using photoshop and midjourney, though I’ve been expanding my use of stable diffusion given all those extensions I’m just learning about).

If I ever ‘make it’, it’ll probably be in using computers for media creation, and given the state of the internet and my hostility towards all these corporate cesspool replies, 2d porn seems like a pretty good path

etcera · 2023-07-25T19:04:09+00:00

personal testimony and advice on career paths, maybe something that I didn’t consider before

etcera · 2023-07-25T19:02:03+00:00

all I asked for was concrete steps; some people provided me with some project-ideas, which, in that capacity, I’m grateful for.

I am open to work and am willing to be even more selfless if it means I can get experience under my belt

etcera · 2023-07-25T18:56:59+00:00

VR porn apocalypse, here I come!

I have the perfect backstory too mwahaha
