Please treat this as an explanation, and not an apology for big tech. If you work in tech, or are thinking about it, understand the rules of the game :

  1. First, a new skill goes hot - maybe functionally superior, may just be a trend. In tech, it’s always the new shiny.

  2. Demand for skills outstrips supply

  3. Salaries go up !

  4. Big tech flex, offer big money to hoover up the talent. Sometimes it’s for projects, sometimes it’s just to keep them out of the hands of competition, in case the trend becomes a standard

  5. Time passes

  6. Chasing big salaries, lots of people acquire the skill.

  7. Supply outstrips demand, skill becomes a commodity.

  8. Salaries come down

  9. Big Tech is still paying huge salaries, for skills that may have stopped trending, but at the very least - are now available at market at a much lower rate. If you include globalisation, it could be 30% of what they are paying.

  10. The high salary hires get cut, because there’s a new skill trending, or, the same skill is now available at much lower rate .

  11. Everyone is shocked !

This has been tech workers life cycle for at least 30 years, and I don’t see it changing

Indeed ! This Would be much easier to take seriously if Sundar hadn’t meet with Sunak, Modi, Biden et al. In the first year or so since getting the job.

No need to be quite so cloak and dagger mate, it fairly obviously to any one who pauses to think.

People have been calling out the problems of corporate oligarchy for more than a decade. This is merely part of that .

It’s systemic risk, not merely technical

I feel like this has gone largely unnoticed for decades, leaving the photographer questioning his subtle use of metaphor and causing him to lose faith in humanity to appreciate his talent.

Then, long after he’d given up all hope, he sees your post this morning and says to himself finally.

It's Not Safe to Click Links on X (lifehacker.com)

As noted by security researcher Will Dormann, some posts on X purport to lead to a legitimate website, but actually redirect somewhere else. In Dormann's example, an advertisement posted by a verified X user claims to lead to forbes.com. When Dormann clicks the link, however, it takes him to a different link to open a Telegram...

‘Ultra wealthy’ Gen Xers are proving more resistant to returning to the office. (archive.is)

It's funny how the narrative changes when a group can actually fight back. Most of the Gen-Xers I know in tech aren't going back to the office, not because they are ultrawealthy but because they are getting old, are virtually irreplaceable, and are prioritizing life over work after having survived the pandemic....

To use a vpn with tor, All you have to believe is that when the feds turn up at the vpn boss’s house in the middle of the night, he’s going say “yes I would rather do 20 years in jail than reveal information about my client who pays me £4 a month”
