I love a conspiracy but I dont see how the incentives align.

Real estate leases and ownership is a sunk cost. Office space can be relet. And even Amazon wont make a dent in the office realestate marker (warehouses, maybe...)

They want people back in because either they think it makes the company more productive, to get people to quit rather than layoffs, or to give the appearance of doing something. Knowing Amazon they probably have some data to drive the decision too.

I'd take the trillion. Think of the good you could do!

Why are so many coding assistant forks? Is it fashion or is there a technical reason? Imagine Python support being a fork. Or live server.

I would write a technical book for the challenge and learning rather than the "I published a book". It would also learn me a ... haskell or whatever.

But not for the money and probably not the opportunities as anything there would be a bonus.

I am more like that 1hr a day cranker. As you can see I am not natural at it... I would grind out and rewrite, get edits until it looks OK.

Yes. Just as much as a farmer planting a seed. I save a lot of time thanks to crud apps.

Lol. Hustle shops pay less and there are more hours. It is not exploitation, but usually there are better gigs. Finance is probably an exception where you know those long hours will be rewarded one day either in the current gig or another future one.

The blind poster is obviously more savvy than the "A players".
