The good news is that you probably won't lose your job because of AI. The bad news is that you will probably lose your job because of good, old-fashioned human stupidity and greed.

I think I've been highly dissociative this week and reality finally just hit me all at once

kind of a deal breaker tbh

unemployment has me thinking about distro hopping over to cachy os

You can also get around quite a few paywalls on news articles by removing nodes in the inspector

To all Bethesda and ZOS devs, current and former: thank you for everything. Thank you for your hard work and sacrifice. You constantly tell us it's the community that makes these games special (and that's true!) but we wouldn't be here without your incredible talent and endless passion. ♥️

While I search for new employment, I currently have lots of energy and would love to get involved in some open source projects if anyone knows of any projects looking for some help!

Alternative post: I have been nonconsensually freed from my shackles of employment

Official quote repost I was one of the impacted. I loved my time at zos so much and the people I got to meet and will really miss the job and my team. If anyone is wanting a senior full stack web engineer 👋

oh hey that's me

Today was not a day for 2 coffees no breakfast. I should probably eat something and stop scrolling.

I am unbelievably shattered and heartbroken with the news coming out of ZenMax Online and Xbox in general today. The team at ZOS is made up of amazing, dedicated, smart - and above all, awesome humans. To see so many of them laid off today - and last year at this time - is just awful

computa take the sadness away

I guess now I don't have an excuse excuse to put off finishing v2 of my website

Howdy y'all, I just got laid off as part of the cuts from Xbox. I have 7 years of experience making full stack web apps, the last 3 of which have been with Zenimax Online Studios supporting The Elder Scrolls Online. Would greatly appreciate if anyone knows of any opportunities!

I really enjoyed the end of The Bear. Actually felt like we got some closure and all around good vibes

I saw a sign for free hot dogs on my way to the grocery store yesterday. Parked at the store and back tracked on foot to acquire a hot dog that came with pleasant conversation. 10/10 side quest & community.

Why is there cylinder deactivation on a 3 cylinder engine? Ford, explain yourself!

Maybe cousin Eddie was onto something

I genuinely hate how quickly people will throw out their morals for cash

It's gonna be a week of anticipating a dreadful email. Trying to remain hopeful no matter what happens, but I just want it to happen already so I can move on.

One of the singers definitely did some hate speech 🥀🥲

At a bluegrass festival. Slightly disappointed upon arriving that all the grass was green, but the music is pretty good!

The tradeoff is always "do it right up front, but take longer to do it" vs "make a mess now, that you'll never clean up later, until it's so fucking chaotic you blow the whole thing up, but at least you can ship a wee bit faster right now".

You'd think after 7 years of professional web dev experience, I'd know better than to try to upgrade my framework before checking to see if all of my dependencies support the new version

Cognitive off-roading

The Substance was certainly a movie. Super cool concept but man that ending was hard to stomach both visually and plot-wise

First time touching overwatch in years, it's so different now!

The Saul Goodman jumpscare in Little Women

I love my yearly visit to the office, but I'm so excited to go home

Yooooo this is so cool

Meccha Chameleon is just Peeta Hunger Games simulator

Bluesky is the home of people who are only interested in everything.

I love cattle dogs

MY NOSE WON'T QUIT LEAKING NOSE JUICE

can confirm that manually changing all your passwords to be random strings in your password manager feels incredible

Valve should buy Xbox

explain your @ People used to call me dusty and I like to code and also .dev in case the code part wasn't super clear

Do I bring my camera on a work trip where I will have zero time to actually take photos of anything interesting?

praying to the capitalist gods that I still have a job next month after rumored layoffs 😭

The underscores goyo club set is so good

It's big grillin' hours

the classic translucent green Xbox goes so hard

I did it and the place I went is such a beautiful place, I'm very excited to share some of the photos I took!!

It is so difficult to force myself to go do something after plans get cancelled, especially when there is plenty that needs done around the house, but this is me holding myself accountable to get out of the damn house today 😤
