Thank you for replying. Totally makes sense that it helps people do a lot without having to spend a lot of time learning to code. Similar to Wix allowing you to have a cool website without years of learning web languages. I guess I enjoy coding at least partly to solve problems but I’m not sure what the next type of problem is for me. I don’t necessarily like juggling 20 things at once which is one new problem allowed by it being much easier to do things with code.

Thanks for replying. Yeah, right, technology is learning to do things that were previously done by humans, which devalues them and the labor that goes into them. A lot of techs did this but recent technologie are much more versatile.

I agree. I am at mid-career. I know many people who dedicated years of their lives learning a craft and building a dignified, somewhat-creative career. I admire these people greatly. The rewards from putting in this effort have disappeared.

For example, I have no knowledge of film editing or what “works” in a sequence, but if I wanted to I could create something more than passable with AI.

Hey there, loved the post. What do you think is next for you? Would you do it all over?

Thanks for all of the content!

Thanks. I meant “a pullback,” as in a euphemism for underperformance. The question was whether the engineers were incidental casualties.

Thanks. I just wonder what the answer is, security-wise. I guess if you can find something self-sustaining where there isn’t a huge need to grow. That was behind my original question, a feeling that a need for profit growth drives these decisions for larger (public, or on their way there) companies. But I guess if a smaller company is not yet profitable, it’s also bearing some risk to get somewhere that it might not.

Were the engineering cuts were due to pullback in the primary business?
