I've said it before, but it's worth repeating given everything happening now.
Survival is an act of defiance. Every breath, every heartbeat is an expression of your sheer force of will to endure and overcome. Keep at it.

ICE is in Columbus Ohio & suburbs too (bc Columbus has city ordinance 1304-2017, prohibiting CPD from assisting them).
They’re moving at a much faster pace picking up POC in minutes and speeding away. Citizens are mobilizing & organizing. Midwest nice until we see ICE.✊

LLMs aren't taking your jobs (for the most part).
At the largest companies, *spending* on LLMs are what is causing the layoffs.
At the smaller companies, they're playing follow the leader - some because they realize they can cut without stigma. Others believe the hype of LLMs.

In Columbus, Ohio, the CPD has straight up stated they WON'T be turning any information over to ICE, nor assisting in arrests. ICE did call the CPD for "noise violations" from protesters. The CP showed up to "investigate"... and left their lights and sirens on the whole time.

The number of racist assholes in this city boggles my mind.
Ice is in town in force and so many people are cheering them on.
Thankfully, a lot of people are against them, but there are too many people who think it's a good thing.

One of the crappiest trends I'm seeing in my mentorship sessions today is people getting laid off from large corporations after 20-40 years of silo right now. It's really appalling if not unexpected.
If you've been somewhere over 5, 10, 20 years it's worth looking at your employability elsewhere.

They need to get the hell out of my city.
At least the mayor and city council have stated that they will not allow the police to assist them. Let's see if the cops actually listen because Columbus PD is well known to be a problem in a lot of ways

One thing I've noticed over the course of my career - there is a real lack of developers that understand security even at a cursory level
Even better is that it's incredibly difficult to get orgs to realize why they should care, even if you put it in business/financial terms.
