No launch has gone "well" since Shart came onboard.

Never fear if TK has a hand in it, it will fail…. As usual.

You’re just rolling GitHub Copilot? Are you a GitHub customer otherwise?

@a5+1jt4cz1wk Lucky you in that you are 100% remote and survived the latest axing. I tried staying remote when they were forcing people back into the office and had a legit reason. However, it wasn't good enough to stay remote and I got axed in the recent layoffs anyway. Funny thing is that a friend said yesterday that I actually looked relaxed for the first time in years. I guess WF stressed me out even more than I thought.

Those who doubt this statement to its core, have you not worked here long? Everything we do is Fall-Forward. That’s why it’s all so bad. A “successful” deployment (rollout goes well) is not measured by usability and functionality after the fact. It is “did it power on/is it running?” If yes the. SUCCESS!

Everything else is nothing but a feature enhancement for later.

Not 30k but thousands for sure. Over 3 years. It’s coming guys. Be prepared. 2 years ago I would have said software engineer will always be in demand. Now, you just need to know basic prompts and boundaries and AI will do the code.

The people at work at this company aren’t even smart enough to take full advantage of artificial intelligence. You need to be good enough to evaluate the output for it to be usable.

Sure rely on copilot to create sh*t code and noobs don't properly test. What could go wrong?

You clearly have not used copilot - it is not a developer replacement

So, what the OP is saying is that there will be no layoffs. When was the last time a Wells Fargo launch went well? They have a tough enough time getting a lunch right.

100% remote and survived yesterday's supposed bloodbath.

I'm thinking @OP is a Copilot hallucination.

I thought Lollipop was spreading a rumor last week and I was so wrong - they were way too high with the # of projected layoffs but there was definitely truth in what they said.
Taking that 30,000 down to 5,000 or even 2,000 may be closer. But I’m just spitballing.

Why do you create such a rumor?
