What are the odds this is actually due to overhiring during the pandemic? From what I know, that was the principle reason for the Amazon layoffs. Would love to be corrected if I'm misremembering.
People keep saying it’s pandemic over hiring, but it should be called ZIRP hiring. With the cost of money almost 4x what it used to be, companies have to deliver now, not just coast on promises of growth and success that may never materialize. Have to sing for that supper.
Exactly! Also operating "at scale" is only impressive if you can do it with comparable speed and uptime, it doesn't mean much if every page takes seconds to load and it falls over multiple times a day lol
A genuinely impressive effort, but alas, still missing some pretty critical features (const, floating point, bools, inline, anonymous structs in function args).
The New Yorker is available via Libby electronically if your library subscribes. In Santa Clara county I get it this way. So we pay library taxes and get access, not technically free. In plus side, a lot more content and the cartoons, on minus side, have to filter a lot of New York only culture and other articles for your interests.
