I got laid off by one of these big tech corporations and replaced by AI (in my opinion, they denied this). It couldn't have come at a better time because I was past the point where my ethics were allowing me to continue. Let someone else build, sell, and support the framework of global oppression. I wouldn't mind doing some Linux work (20+ years of Linux use, minor coding experience, some devops type stuff, but mostly support/sales). For now, I'm focused on my family and I might teach some dance in the meantime. Gotta dance while the world is burning; how else do I stay positive?
