This is one of the developers who made TypeScript 10x faster. And he just got laid off by Microsoft.
There will be countless stories like his - of engineers who went above and beyond, shipped game-changing features, improved dev experience for millions…..and still found themselves out of a job.
This week, @Microsoft laid off around 6,000 employees, roughly 3% of its global workforce.
Not because they underperformed. Not because they didn’t deliver.
But because AI just got “good enough” to justify replacing thousands overnight.
The takeaway?
A bitter reminder that no matter how hard you work or how much impact you create, companies will always do what’s best for the business.
So let’s do what’s best for us too.
Build your network. Keep your options open. Protect your peace.
Because loyalty is admirable, but so is self-preservation.
No one else is going to look out for your career like you will.
