[02:48]	schestowitz[TR3]	Why havent VPs or ELT over the OS team been laid off?

[02:48]	schestowitz[TR3]	Comments on Reddit are gold:
[02:48]	schestowitz[TR3]	    Maybe because they view Windows as a platform in need of maximum monetization instead of an unobtrusive operating system. ( https://old.reddit.com/r/technology/comments/1lofgad/windows_seemingly_lost_400_million_users_in_the ) 
[02:48]	schestowitz[TR3]	Surely, those making the decisions need culling, too.

Thats why they called it awk. What if the data were structured in some way, so that I can sort ls output by file owner, even if ls doesnt offer that, and without counting columns and hoping theyre always the same?

[11:05]	schestowitz[TR3]	"When you guys say major gutting all the news outlets talk about 3% or 6500 layoffs which most tech companies have annual layoffs anyway around this percentage if not more.
[11:05]	schestowitz[TR3]	If a 228k staff company lays off 6500 total that is a lot but also not much in terms of the global workforce and if most mcaps teams have 8+ specialist sales across 5 different units who are not technical, maybe managers will be let go and teams will be made to become more technical. "
[11:05]	schestowitz[TR3]	The 6.5k figure was false
