  I’d sooner go full-time on my game dev hobby and hope for the best.

    Chase your dreams. The warehouse will always be there.

        The first Starlink-Amazon war destroyed many Amazon warehouses

    You could probably make $800 doing game dev too. Maybe not with only one game, but $800 with game dev hobby sounds better to me than $800 to be a warehouse associate for an unknown amount of time…

      The $800 is to be a game dev for their new release: warehouse associate.

  So you think you’re too good to eat shit? Wait until you have to like I do.

  Bro, maybe I don’t think you should have to eat shit either.

    It was a topical joke revolving around the numerous rounds of tech layoffs since 2023, as well as the current state of the industry, which is pretty awful and toxic if you’re a software engineer currently looking for work.

  Statistically you’re far more likely to get laid off then he is.

    I’m a software engineer who was laid off.

    • SeattleRain@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago

      Oh I see. Well your anecdote completely debunks statistics that show people without degrees get laid off nearly three times as often as those that do. I kneel.

    Not this year lol, tech has been hit hard.

    Which, I mean, no one has any sympathy, those guys have been coddled and overpaid for a decade.

    But yeah, this year, lots of tech layoffs.
