[08:55]	schestowitz[TR2]	There were years when software engineering was considered a boring job that dudes who couldnt get girls in school did.
[08:55]	schestowitz[TR2]	However, this industry is experiencing a boom like has never been seen before. So everyone has found a way to get in. Weve seen the rise of girls who couldnt tell you the difference between RAM and ROM (haha) all of a sudden jump into the bandwagon. The simp bros of tech have been quick to award plum Product Manager roles to these women. The finance bros also had to come in and eat so they created stupid roles like Peoject M
[08:55]	schestowitz[TR2]	anagers and TPMs under the guise of business efficiency. Not only that, attorneys had to all of a sudden push new visa regulation so they could all form big legal orgs in these companies (CELA at MSFT for example lmao).
[08:55]	schestowitz[TR2]	Then we have these new AI gold rush thats trying to create influencer jobs like (growth @bullshit startup) or Forward Deployed Agentic Product Manager (legit saw some girl have this title at some Australian startup). I guess hot girls have these tech men on a chokehold. Losers who couldnt get laid to save their asses can now create fake roles and finance themselves into premium p****sy.
[08:55]	schestowitz[TR2]	None of all these new entrants have any interest in this field. Theyre like parasites..circle around the host and take as much blood as possible. Of course the consultants from BCG and McKinsey have to insert themselves too. How could they miss out on this buffet? Theyve taken the onus of publishing bogus reports around big tech inefficiency by posing as advisors thus creating the melee that is modern day layoffs and redu
[08:55]	schestowitz[TR2]	ctions in force.
[08:55]	schestowitz[TR2]	Engineers need to unionize like yesterday. We need Marxism in this industry.by all means, we are the laborers and everyone else is the proletariat. Yet, we have nobody to stand for us.

Regardless of how you left the company. Rule of 70 is, I believe, a misinterpretation."
