Well growing up in 70-80's I was always told by my elders "There's no such thing as a free lunch kid!"
I guess the the millennials never heard this!!!
Maybe we should change the title to "Tech lol" ?
Amazon is firing people out of devices, retail and HR per WSJ. Last I heard they had 10,000 people working on Alexa so definitely some fat to trim there.
Verge did a little summary of Frohnhoefer and Elon's interaction. https://www.theverge.com/2022/11/14/23458247/elon-musk-fires-engineer-correcting-twitter

Yeah people pointing out that he should have done this privately are missing that Elon picked a public venue to start shitting on his work. This dude is going to laugh to the bank with his 3-4mos of severance. He'll have a new job before the year ends.
The arrogance comes from being in high demand, anyone with more than a couple years experience as an eng gets their inbox flooded with interview offers. That feeling of being wanted is going to breed that arrogance.
Idk, people can poke fun at the free lunches and all of the other perks on offer but they're basically table stakes at this point if you want to attract talent. I agree that it's a little silly, but Google figured that offering employees lunch would actually save them money since people wouldn't leave campus or be distracted by what they needed to bring to work to eat. That happened and basically everyone had to follow suit.
I'm very grateful for my career and the opportunities it has provided me. Hopefully the gravy train doesn't end here cuz I like making money.
Good lord, I can only imagine what happens to these people at a grocery store when they are deciding what cereal to buy standing in front of two dozen different options.
This is not even remotely trueGreg Griffin passing, who to my knowledge never had a protegee, made me think about how much craftsman knowledge is dying and fading away with nobody to carry it on
Closest thing is Havoc.idk. Did GG have a protege?

I should have been more clear - I was responding in the general sense - not specifically to GG.idk. Did GG have a protege?
It seems he was very generous in person w his knowledge and experience though not aware of any direct “understudys” of his.
I personally see buck loads of highly skilled craftsmen across a wide range of practices…
W regards to surfboards - it’s it’s own fckn weird thing where design & building (shaping) have traditionally been done by the same individual…. N people twist their own t!ts raw over a brand not doing that… start adding non traditional tools like computers n milling machines n OMG, the raw t!t army go full fckn Karen. I know a number of young dudes that are becoming good at “shaping” - some w a modified electric planer n others w a lap top n CNC service etc. They are all just tools. My shoulders n back are fckd so I do CAD n cuts, planer sold years ago. There are other things I make using technology, machines from the 1950s…

Idk man, you're the one that's getting all upset over a bunch of nerds getting free lunches at work. Is this your hobby? Picking fights with random people on the internet you've never met?
lol I wish I made that kind of money. I live in a studio apartment and shop at costco.
