"First they came for...."

One day it is you that gets given the cubicle box and door walk out.

Not at all, given the layoff rounds for various reasons, which fail to find new jobs, because now corporations are doing more with less.

Why not say what you’re trying to say?

Quit being passive - you’re asking folks to consider this, and deeply ponder the consequences, but what’s the action you’re calling for?

General AI ban? Managers guiding their firms not to use, to (artificially?) protect headcount? Individual contributors quietly quitting the demand to push more code than can be reviewed properly?

Say what you need to say - the way you’re going about it is worse than weird: it’s ineffective, and makes your view (whatever it actually is) look whiny.

  • Each one should know what is their role, protecting their jobs from late stage capitalism, instead of celebrating it.
