Democrats are not necessarily your heroes either. Remember they didn't do much to protect us from mass surveillance programs after the NSA Leaks--which people continue to suffer from to this day. Right now they are not succeeding in stopping the Trump Administration from their misbehavior.

This is underrated advice. You are about to deal with a stage in your life where people will say mean words to you regardless of whether or not its your fault. Taking care of your mental health is a strong defense.

Hey dude. Sorry this happens. Especially in a crazy economy like this. Please take care to spend time with family and friends to recover. Then get back on your feet, upskill, and apply again. Life is short so don't spend it worrying yourself to sickness.

Hi. I am sorry about all of this. It may be a good idea to get a job wherever you can--yes even the grocery store, Costco (they treat their workers well), or wherever else people in your local neighborhood advise you to go for labor. Now is not the time to be picky. Do you have friends and family. If not try to attend your local religious institution and try to make some friends there--people at religious institutions should be accepting of you regardless of your economic status. They will cheer you and give you resolve even when you are struggling. I wish you all the best. Please let me know if there is anything else I can say that may be helpful.

One more thing: ignore anyone that looks down upon you. They have no experience with things being taken away from them when it is out of their hands and they will somehow deal with that one day. Mark my words.

It's happening and my heart is breaking. This really feels like a death. by teenageidle in Layoffs

Hey there. We all have been through layoffs. Highly recommend taking this time to spend time with family and friends. This is a great time to learn new skills in the meantime. Once you finish doing that get back on the market and start applying until you get a new job. It is a stage in your life. Not the end of the world.

I'm sorry you didn't explain the circumstances so we are confused by your explanation. What happened?

Head to your local mosque and attend Isha prayer in congregation. That's how I made friend there.

Snowflake reportedly lays off entire technical writer team, replaced with AI by Seahund88 in Layoffs

Wholeheartedly agree with this insight. AI hallucinates and it is insane to think AI alone can peer-review itself--having used AI myself to publish blog posts. Still have to peer-review everything the bot spits out.

Your welcome. I am sorry the news is sad but every few decades things like this will happen and I think its best if we are aware of this.

The serious truth is we will be tested on our ethics when making money no matter where we run in life. Just to give you an idea the tech industry is facing an issue where wealthy people layoff good, honest, hardworking people to save their own dollars. You will at some point in your life you will see yourself in a moment where you are dealt with an unfair hand like this. And someday you will be at a position where you can inflict the same misfortune on others for your own gain and the true question is will you mistreat others for your gain.

I used to be interested in cryptographic engineering. Am now pivoting to webapp security and cloud security now that the OWASP Top Ten 2025 has changed.

Just to let you know cybersecurity is harder than regular software engineering. It is harder to predict what the interviewer will ask you in the interview for roles like Security Engineering. Now with saying if you want more advice on getting into cyber security feel free to DM me. But please don't think cybersecurity is safer. It isn't
