Amazon cut more than 1,800 engineers in record layoffs, despite saying it needs to innovate faster Nearly 40% of the roughly 4,700 positions Amazon eliminated across Washington, New York, New Jersey and California were engineering jobs.

WARN filings expose 4.7k of Amazon's 14k cuts last month. 500 PMs were laid off while engineers (1,800 laid off) were hit hardest, mostly SDE IIs which refutes the "management bloat" narrative.

The trend is clear: Big Tech continues to purge junior roles due to "AI efficiency gains."

A brown, speckle-breasted song thrush stands alert on a cluster of elderberry branches, surrounded by green leaves and dark ripe berries. The bird faces right in a clear side profile, its plumage warm in the sunlight against a softly blurred background of foliage and blue sky.

Spoilers:

Did not like the Carrie inspiration or hat tip, because it felt like introducing a different topic altogether

But I liked the picture of dorian grey & Frankenstein exploration

Did not like some gore & disturbing sound effects. It felt unnecessary, could make the point without it too.

I found a beautiful red dragonfly. You can find this dragonfly in autumn. In Japanese, it's called “AKATONBO.”

No you don’t need a new iphone unless…

it takes 2 minutes to open an app, your photos suck, battery dies in 4 hours, or you can’t use the camera or softwares for professional use

Same rule as before, 3-5 year upgrade cycles is sufficient.
