Unity, Google, Discord. All within a day or two of each other.

For every number of employees laid off, a VP level employee must be fired. Those employees didn't hire themselves. Someone came up with the idea.

If companies don't do this they're not attacking the root of the problem.

Also twitch. Yuck...

Probably some great devs on the market for anyone hiring though.

Yeah, no

All devs must go through at least a year of unemployment according to these mofos
