Comment on US tech firm Oracle cuts thousands of jobs as it steps up AI spending

That’s just what we need. More senior tech workers out of work in Austin.
Hey, we have a ton of those here in Washington too! Maybe if someone finds a way for AI to actually be a productivity booster, they can hire all the tech workers and turn them into money printers with the insane output they’re supposed to produce with it.

Honestly, my main concern is the pipeline of junior devs who were actually mentored will dry up, and these quarterly results are all they care about. When no one knows anything in a decade, and the business is dying, AI is not going to swoop in to fix it.

Or Oracle will start stealth hiring in other countries like Poland and India to use that staff as their junior devs in a more sink or swim environment.
