Oh look it's Cloudflare this time firing 1100 employees because AI adoption increased after forcing everyone to use AI 🙃

I'm sorry if you're affected by this big tech cost cutting playbook.

@botteaap@androiddev.social such weasel talk. I can't stand that. Layoffs named "building for the future". Also writing AI adoption increased so much, as if it happened naturally and AI usage wasn't shoved down in every possible team as a KPI. Just get lost tech companies.

@botteaap@androiddev.social Yeah it's an absolute shit show inside the company as well, this caught nearly everyone by surprise. I'm not looking forward to how much chaos there's going to be in the on-call rotation both from having less people as well as discovering that a crucial credential was tied to someone we unceremoniously off-boarded. I'm sure the 18% drop in the stock prices was worth all this.
