Reposted by Christoph RiekeTom MacWright @tmcw.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gy · 26/04/2026a long time ago i followed @sgillies blog and the moment he announced he had left a job we hired him to work at mapbox, a major coup. now is the time for you to do the same thing for your company, i guarantee you will not regret it: sgillies.net/2026/04/24/laid-off.ht…sgillies.netLaid offWelp, I'm joining the ranks of the unemployed tech workers again. As before, I'm in a good situation. I don't depend on my former employer for health insurance. I've got some severance and savings, my family is in good health, we have a roof over our heads, and I have good connections. I don't feel afraid. But maybe I should? The job market is worse than last time this happened to me. I've seen experienced and talented people go for weeks and months without offers, and read some harrowing stories about what under-employment looks like for older tech workers these days. After a little detour into the biomedical field, I'm looking to get back into helping to solve important geospatial problems. If you've got them, please let me know. 12013
