The parent comment just described the meaning. It's not meaningless.
So he didn’t throw a subordinate under the bus. Big whoop. He still has a job, bonus, and golden parachute. Despite fucking up and hiring way more than needed and upending those lives. Real responsibility would be leaving in disgrace, or returning his bonus and stock, or something else along those lines.

#174Hmm. I just brought that into a tech stack for a client. A 28% reduction in head count surely doesn’t bode well for the future of Prisma.
What alternatives did you consider?

#175I explained the other day to a friend how Prisma looks great but it's very unresponsive on Github [1], specially surprising since they raised a lot of money so I thought they'd have more resources. So he introduced me to the concept of FOSS-washing (in relation to greenwashing). Launch a cool open source piece of software, get big clients and funding thanks to it and then basically ignore Github or just dedicate enou…
I’ve had PRs open since last March with them and have been somewhat disappointed at their response to adding features through OSS contributions. These aren’t minor contributions either. For example, I want to add ltree support to Prisma (which could also extend to MSSQL’s Hierarchy).

#177As someone who's scared of all the lay offs happening, what should I do to calm down and keep going?
Short version: Do an internet search for “the hidden job market”.
Unlike most people’s “passive” strategy of posting a resume on LinkedIn or sending resumes to job postings then hoping that someone takes notice of you, you’ll develop an “active” strategy of finding openings before they’re ever posted publicly. It takes more work and planning, which is why you should start now while you’re employed.

#180ORM = "Object–relational mapping" You'd think they'd mention that once in their Website?
