So, back to farming, eh? Like the good old days. I wish to trade my laptop for two goats. Anyone interested?

I can do 3/4 of goat and a slice of bread

Verily, doth I assume thou hast acquired the king's own blessing to partake in discourse within this hallowed chamber of clandestine dealings?

Best I can do is a JPEG of a goat, but singular. One goat.

I wonder how bad the reputational damage all these layoffs is? I wouldn't be surprised if those big tech companies have a bit of trouble when they start hiring again.

I suspect there are plenty of fresh college grads eager to fill those roles when the time comes. So, their quality of hiring might suffer, and so too will the quality of their products.

Of course, if AI can solve for program correctness by then, this is all moot =] maybe they’re banking on that.
