The problem is that they don't want to RTO. Not my problem or HR's problem. I'll keep hiring H1Bs all day. They have better work ethic than 90% of the folks on /. anyway.

There is nothing to discuss here. We've been watching the death of this niche at CES every year since... 2016? 2017? This segment doesn't exist.

Im sure you're proud of your hires. Though, its kind of crazy how many "engineers" were overpromoted during lockdown. Warm butts in seats and all. Thanks for dredging the cesspool.

As a high level principal at a fortune 50 org, I call bull.
The only people we have lost have zero desirable talent to speak of, and the worst attitudes. You all can keep shouting angrily at Slashdot. Nobody of substance gives a damn and I assure you that you'll be left behind.

13,000?
The pompous comments make this ridiculously broad headline far more interesting.
*popcorn*

This won't be the last. Every single company featuring LLM as a key initiative invested far to aggressively and quickly into the segment.
2024/2025 will be the reckoning as these investments fail to pay, and shareholders will foot the bill.
Executives are dangerous when they start hearing popular buzzwords.

Many of the folks commenting here were clearly either children or had minimal experience with legacy Windows builds in production.

I'm just going to point out that Windows 3.1 and Windows for Workgroups 3.1.1 are two entirely different stories when talking about operating systems utilized in corporate environments.

Books? What?
They sell textiles, which have high return rates online. Regardless of policies.
I'll never understand why the people who don't read the articles and shout their opinions are the ones getting up votes.

Comparing an industry with highly competent engineers and pilots to an industry that lets every idiot drive a vehicle is way, way off the mark here.
It's like comparing a person with minimal qualifications, who dables, to a master. There is nothing to debate here.

Comparing pensioners to actual shareholders and c suite is... Wildly off base.

It's cute that you have so much faith in c suites and the fed.
You're totally off whack though. We're not just talking about government contracts here.

Corporations are more concerned with lining the pockets of c suite and shareholders above ALL ELSE in the states. Until this changes, you're going to have to deal with it. They make far more money than the fed will ever fine thm.

"Other people do not have the right to force their religion on you, nor you on them."

What?
Not that I believe that attempting to abolish religion is a good idea... but religious folks ruin the party for everyone else quite regularly. From censorship to womens reproductive rights.
Frankly, I'm disappointed. I've found the vast majority of the comments on this article to be very narrow-minded, regardless of the individual's religious status.

The first problem is that Reddit was just never as important as their "community" imagines it is. The vast majority of the traffic finding Reddit is searching for information and having to sort through piles of disorganized subs to find what they want. Sadly, all too often laced with hot takes and trolling. The protests and locked subs just lead this population to look for alternative sources. Very few outside the Reddit community actually care about the protests. They just saw the locked subs and moved on.

Really, Reddit communities rarely contain the specialized knowledge that would make them invaluable. All too often the contributors responding to questions are barely qualified... and at worst they just aren't qualified at all. They frequently have no real experience, parroting what they saw on tiktok and youtube or read on some poorly detailed Wiki entry.

Eerily similar to many Slashdot comments, eh?

Secondly, the mods. Some folks just have a bad habbit of attempting to embed themselves like ticks and then convince themselves that they are irreplaceable.
Every cog can be replaced. Every. Single. One.
So can every sub. The fact is that more and more of these conversations have moved on to more specialized and easily manageable platforms. Like Discord.

"If you don't know why its the 256th day then you probably aren't a programmer and there is no point in explaining."

For Shit's sake. We talk about trying to attract women and children to the field and we can't even get over this ages old, ridiculously flawed, circular logic.

This attitude permiates everything in brogrammer culture. You just can't assume everyone who is getting into programming these days is an advanced highschool math student, or a CS student, that woukd have knowledge of base 16. The very opposite is true. We're like a bunch of religious fanatics that can't give up the past for the future.

Your attitude is why no one gives a damn about your shitty holiday.
