Juniper being bought by HPE(ITS OVER)

getting into WebDev, cloud, ai and cybersecurity

Tech Layoff bloodbath of 2024 has begun

might be worse than last year

Congratulations

AI effect?

lol

I tried emailing our VMWare rep at the beginning of the year and got an undeliverable reply

maybe here and there, but mostly same thing as last year. companies looking to trim fat. one week into the year and we already have:

Accenture
Google
Prime Video and general Amazon
Twitch
Google
Meta incoming this week
SoFi
Black Rock
Citrix
Barclays

way more i left off, but even more coming next week… these are very large amount of people being laid off at each company as well…

My company’s CTO departed after 20+ years this week

staying positive bc they sent out an invite for an internal engineering summit in my org for April and they’re paying people’s travel so I doubt they’d want to expense that if people end up getting laid off or not coming

Our GM left here last year in November to take a CTO spot at another company and they fired him end of December.

Lmfao no these companies are just bloated and overvalued

Why so many layoffs in IT

we’re just getting started

Discord just announced 17% of all employees getting cut today

Humane hasn’t even launched the pin and already laid off 10% too

Should be 100%

they were doomed from the start, but the Jony Ive x OpenAI announcement was the final nail in the coffin imo. the pin case looks cool tho

That seems like a bad move for openai too, they’re planning on making physical products? Why?

rip them and vmware.

need something aimed at the average consumer.

people would be surprised how many non white-collar work people dont really use computers like that. yes, one can use chatgpt on iphone, but im still not sure that really matters. need a device that really shows utility to the average consumer.

Our entire core is Juniper

i've only ever touched cisco and dell briefly, haven't ran into any juniper equipment.
