Knowing which projects/languages/frameworks to invest time into and which to skip (even if they produce useful subprojects) is a superpower these days.

It's not that difficult. Choose boring over trendy. Simple over complex. Stability and quality over speed and quantity. There is a lot of software that fits and optimizes for the former. Just be smart and selective about your choices, and avoid compromising.

It's not that simple actually -- this kind of thinking might leave you working on mainframes in 2000 (or even now) which is obviously a mistake.

It requires a certain taste. There's a skill involved.

As soon as I saw it was a project by Intel I rolled my eyes and ignored it.

What's going on over at Intel anyway? This happened recently with Scitkit-Learn Intelex, which was a drop-in replacement for some parts of sklearn that was a bit faster. One day, the Intel channel on Conda just stopped working (and I learned that Anaconda loses the will to live when a random channel you installed one package from is unavailable) and another organization took over Sklearn Intelex. No communication cou…

Multiple, multiple, multiple rounds of mass firings. Check the news past couple of months.

This news, which has been obviously coming for years, also tends to throw doubt on all of Intel's other software projects. Who, for example, would actually invest in exploiting QAT? Even though it clearly offers opportunities for massive gains in the right applications, it also carries the obvious risk that Intel will abandon it.

Even their other efforts, like GPU drivers. Chances are they _MIGHT_ still do Windows releases but probably not Linux.

From my experience, none. "Utterly unfortunately, today was your last day with the company. A separation agreement has been sent to your personal email. Your corporate access is being revoked. Thank you for your contribution!" Being fired for poor performance is all about ample warnings, issuing a PIP, etc. The company wants the employee back on track. Being laid off is a situation that an employee cannot fix with th…

"Employees might sabotage stuff" is something parroted constantly and there's never any proof it is a significant issue.

This[0] is just the first result searching and it is from this week too. But it is not uncommon. Insider threats to infrastructure exist at all times of course but a disgruntled employee with administrative access and knowledge of the infrastructure can do a lot of damage quickly.
