After these 4-5 years of harsh mass layoffs from these same tech companies who buy and sell each other, while discarding us in the mist just to look good for stock investors and not even a whiff of care but a cold thank you email as they off board your IAM role as a few bytes that’s no longer useful. I’m not saying don’t rejoice after your hard work, I’m encouraging you to stand on the business these tech companies will always stand on. #techcommunity #cloudtechnology

Software development business reminds me a swamp of late early 2000s, so there will be a purge.
