Both major companies I’ve worked for sold their commercial real estate and leased it back as one of their very first measures when cost cuts were needed. What we have here is essentially the reverse where tech companies scare off their workforce and industry knowledge and drive up employee costs so they can impart some secondary effect on the commercial real estate market… so yes i remain confused about the priorities in play here.

So sell it

Why should they care though? It’s not like commercial real estate sells more computers. Staff still needs desktops, infrastructure still needs datacenters.

That brings back memories

Edit: actually i was thinking of xmms

The day your boss does that is the day they want to lay people off on the cheap, because it’s a stupid decision with no measurable benefit over the 3 day minimum most of the big tech companies seem to have settled on.

There should be protections against hiring someone remote and then forcing them into the office as soon as you want to lay people off by forcing them to quit so you don’t have to compensate them.

Yah this is literally the most basic shit any company can do to be more “green”, cut costs, have access to a larger worker base…

Nope. Because the CEOs are all more concerned with the commercial real estate market than running their company efficiently.

Debugging and maintenance was always the hardest aspect of large code bases… writing the code is the easy part. Offloading that part to AI only makes the hard stuff harder

Ah yes, Trump who abandoned the Kurds after they proved themselves to be our most stalwart allies against ISIS and hosted the Taliban at Camp David while snubbing the Afghan government because he always planned to hand it all back over to the Taliban.

This was the only they were gonna get paid. Musk couldn’t even be bothered to pay the agreed lease on his own headquarters. And that was before he jammed his head up Trump’s asshole so he’s probably even more contemptuous about paying his dues now.

That’s what the Project 2025 get out the vote plan is

I like this too much

Fuck you, Protectron!

How.

Is that fucking guy still there?

Something about a simple Double-decker Taco does it for me, but I’m not sure it’s a regular menu item anymore

It’s still one of the most effective ways to detect cognitive decline
