"When the people who built and operated your cloud would rather knead dough than touch a terminal again, that’s not a career pivot. That’s a trauma response." https://www.seuros.com/blog/aws-fired-the-human-who-made-the-difference/ The enshittification escalates... I walked away from tech almost four years ago with a case of burnout you could see from space. The intervening three years have only made me more grateful that I left when I did. (I wish all my friends and colleagues still chained to the oars had my opportunity.) #aws #layoffs #burnout #ai

@llorenzin@infosec.exchange I left 3 years ago to make toys. It hurts to see the state of the industry today.

@llorenzin@infosec.exchange “AWS has been fighting fires caused by automated systems while insisting to customers that everything is fine, that the smoke is a coincidence, that the matches just happened to be there.” Drunk Steve Yegge articles from the ancient past talked about this level of broken Amazon. Working on non-shipped products, the chaos. Now Stevie is #tokenmaxxing out GasCity. The antithesis of Open Source / Free software. All from the 🧠 child of Bezos.
