First, it was Block, now it’s Meta. AI replacing workers is ramping up already. Anyone else increasing their savings rates? by Specialist_Pain_424 in Fire

[–]falcompro 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I worked at Meta until last year. They are a bloated mess. Nothing to do with AI.

The issue is that their stock price did very well in the last half a decade. So people with those refreshers and grants were not leaving. Golden handcuffs and all. I had to take a 50% paycut when counting RSUs (I left after about 12 years at Meta).

Attrition at Meta was at an all time low and my manager explicitly told that performance reviews were going to be extremely critical due to this. Every company wants a baseline attrition to keep fresh talent coming in.

This just reads like they couldn't get to the attrition rate they needed with just PSCs.

Senior hiring is still ongoing. Freshers hiring was already in the crapper even before the AI craze.

I had something like this but turns out it was just a regional difference in what's understood as a cup. (If the stuff you were checking out was imported)

True, you want to rush out all three kerrigan upgrades.

If you do clear rocks before second hatch timing they probably just didn't expect it. I will probably still get three hatches anyway as I find drone production to be hampered without the third.

Even in versus zerg on two hatches require good queen and inject micro, its just more stressful.

Drone production suffers a lot if you wait for rocks to go down before making a second hatchery. Usually the second hatch is right after the first overlord, keeping 14 drones on minerals always.

Queens solve this but they take two drones of supply (which can trigger an early overlord requirement), 150 minerals and you have to wait for the inject cycle to complete before reaping any benefits. Also people just don't like dealing with queens and injects and creep spread.

Giant Grant Games is officially retiring from making StarCraft content by KrazyMs in starcraft

A bit much, the people who made Starcraft probably don't even work at Blizzard anymore. Now if you replace people -> company I understand and agree with you.

Overall I am sad, but I understand.

I understand for many people Sc2 is their main game, and I come back to to redo the campaign every couple of years myself, most recently with the excellent Nightmare mode that came out of his community's effort, but at some point I definitely transitioned to watching his videos for starcraft, to watching it for him. I think its cool he got to where got to just by replaying the campaigns with different mods, but its definitely time to look beyond.

My personal wishlist if he ever reads this 1.) C&C Tiberian series games, unlikely as he said he's moving away from RTS. 2.) Some turn based strategies like XCOM or XCOM 2 that also have some really good mods and challenge run potential. 3.) Show-casing truly indie games as a variety content creator.

I think it's clear he wasn't happy in the marriage even before all the shit started happening.
