SAVE $s. Mass tech layoffs coming in
I feel sad for you bro waiting everyday fearing about something that hasn’t happened yet. Once this March goes by bro will be sad about the next layoffs if bro gets spared in this one. For the naysayers wanting proof: https://fortune.com/2026/01/08/amazon-demands-proof-of-productivity-from-employees-asking-for-list-of-accomplishments/ Amazon isn’t doing this because they’re bored. You have to be the dumbest google hire of all time Which company isn’t doing that???

But this is being used to build up larger systems and people are actually believing these things have true โunderstandingโ of what we give it. You may give an instruction in an LLM in your code to โupdate all years in the config files to be next yearโ and it will make it 2028 or some bullshit and youโll have no idea why. And this means you ALWAYS have to check its output because it is inherently unreliable.
Meta is discriminating against SWE US citizens π¨ H1B is a scam π¨
Meta has posted this job on their website and tailored it to the H1B's resume, by making Master's degree a requirement. Please note, there is an H1B sitting in this job, and Meta now wants to file paperwork for their greencard and by law they need to check the labor market if a US worker with skills to fill this role is available or not.
Are you harmed by H1B? You can report it now
If you think this is gonna lead to anything other than superficial fines, you are just another muppet π
Difference between USA and Europe as seen through the eyes of a Frenchman working in tech
20 years in the USA and 6 years in the SF Bay Area working as a French product strategy leader and engineer taught me this: In France, we debate for 3 hours before making a decision. In SF, we ship broken code and fix it live, iteration is key. In France, August means the entire company disappears. In SF, vacation means answering Slack from Tahoe during your 3 days summer break. In France, you strike because you want more money. In SF, you implement the 669 work week because you want more money.
H-1B is here to stay. Anti-H1B movement is pointless
I see so many posts on X, Blind and Reddit against H-1B. Fox News interviewing Desantis and others. But what's the point? No matter what anyone says, H-1B is here to stay. Tech lobby is not going to let house and senate have enough votes for any bill to reduce or eliminate the H-1B program. Sure, there maybe minor tweaks like lottery changing to higher salaries for selection. But 85K/year H-1B visas are not going away.
To the engineer who stood up to C1 and PIP culture
Reference thread: [Blind] Check out this post! Cap1 PIP email that got deleted everywhere (HR Issues) https://www.teamblind.com/us/s/j57gxhql Know this, most of us support you. Companies need to acknowledge that they can't treat software engineers like garbage. We aren't slaves to be worked 60-80 hours a week, promised a promo or good bonus, then get PIP'ed. We need sleep, proper nutrition, rest, time to exercise and spend time with friends/family.
