I don't believe he did this quietly, I mean, how could he? He is forthright and transparent with the decision. Ripping the bandage clean off early rather than a slow protracted painful removal over time. Got to respect that.

I think this whole topic should be approached with a degree of humility and humanity, irrespective of sector. Each person has a story, a family to feed, bills to pay etc. The Q should be framed more to how do we respond to the implications of AI on the collective global workforce in just and fair way. 'Sack em all' is not the solution

But what about the little guy trying to make somethimg of what disposable income is left at the end of the month and outpace inflation/monetary debasement? Why would you even try now with this draconian move? Maybe its by design. Maybe they want the little guy to stay little yet they hail it as taxing the rich

GM Nostrarians and welcome to this a very vibrant time in the Celtic calendar, known as Imbolc. a beautiful, quiet turning point in the Celtic year. Falling on February 1st and 2nd, it marks the halfway point between the winter solstice and the spring equinox.
While it often feels like the dead of winter, Imbolc is actually a celebration of quickening—the very first stirrings of life deep within the earth. For me is is full of energy and signals a time to 'get shit done' 💪

So yesterday I did a thing. I quit my Fiat job, it was a journey to get to the realisation that it was no longer for me, corporate culture was intense and ever increasing demands on me took its mental toll after 15 years of service. Luckily I have some funds to take a little time off and reflect on my next chapter. I recently received an MSc in Blockchain and DLT and this decentralized web3 new emerging space excites me no end. Right now I'm vibe coding a #lightning @nprofile…367y @nprofile…d3u4 #NOSTR payments engine for goods and services. And, I love the escapism and knowledge that brings. Who knows where I'll end up but better to step into the unknown and try than remain in a place that fills you with dread and makes getting up in the AM a task. Onward to the next chapter. 🫰
