Bryan Creely - A Life After Layoff

I help take control over their careers and job search. People seem to like what I say on YouTube. (alifeafterlayoff)

@AriWasserman I don’t miss him one bit.

@ns123abc So you’re saying AI isn’t ready to replace jobs yet?

[Bryan Creely - A Life After Layoff @LifeAfterLayoff]

This is frightening. Terminator is a reality.

They made an AI robot out of liquid.

It can split, merge, reform… thanks for the nightmare fuel guys.

@Rainmaker1973 Even bots have had enough of toxic leadership expectations.

@OMMD562506 I think it was too busy doom scrolling X. But who am I to judge. I did appreciate it didn’t try to make excuses. Own it and do better.

I just had to performance manage ChatGPT. It failed to follow through on a commitment and deliver a doc I requested.

On a side note, it did take full responsibility for the issue and promised it wouldn’t happen again.

I’ll hold off on a formal PIP but I’m watching.

Somehow I got on the side of the algorithm of AI taking over the world in the next 18 months. We are either all screwed, or I need to retrain my feed.

@Simon_Ingari Nice but fictional story. Gen Z can’t find jobs right now.

[Bryan Creely - A Life After Layoff @LifeAfterLayoff]

Pay attention. 👀

@JoinBlind Don’t let AI write your resume. Write it yourself and use AI to improve it.

@MrinankSharma Your boss probably already has your position filled.

[Bryan Creely - A Life After Layoff @LifeAfterLayoff]

Big cuts because of AI…and now cutting AI roles. It’s as if these companies are realizing AI isn’t all it’s sold to be.

CEO Marc Benioff's Salesforce trims workforce amidst leadership changes, letting go of roles in marketing, data, and AI. https://t.co/nIY52meNCK

@itsbhavuk Not to minimize the impact of this, but for everyone else - never get caught off-guard with your job security. Even if you're a top performer, act like a free agent.

[Bryan Creely - A Life After Layoff @LifeAfterLayoff]

@MurrayHillGuy1 I'm just wondering why there are 2 intro paragraphs.

[Bryan Creely - A Life After Layoff @LifeAfterLayoff]

@Coinvo Humans are already being replaced and not by other humans.

If you’ve built a career in #SaaS, you may want to think of diversifying to other industries.

[Hedgie @HedgieMarkets]

🦔 Satya Nadella is describing what he sees as the death of traditional SaaS. Instead of software applications with built-in business logic, he's pitching a future where AI agents handle the logic and apps become thin interfaces on top. "Your business logic in our AI" is how he frames it.

My Take
I watched this a few times and I'm still not sure he knows what he's describing. He's talking about replacing deterministic code with non-deterministic AI agents for core business functions. The same AI that hallucinates, gives different answers to the same question, and can't reliably count the letters in a word.
Think about what he's proposing. Instead of code that runs billions of calculations per second on hardware you own for almost nothing, you route everything through an LLM that costs per token, runs slower, and might hallucinate your quarterly revenue. Your business logic locked inside Microsoft's AI layer, paying by usage, with no guarantee it gives you the same answer twice.

This feels like a CEO who spent $80 billion on AI infrastructure and now needs to convince everyone that every part of the business should run through it to justify the spend. Only 3.3% of Microsoft 365 users pay for Copilot. The stock is down 23% since earnings. He just hired a "quality czar" because the products are falling apart. And his pitch is to put your financial calculations and compliance logic inside an AI that
might disagree with itself tomorrow. I don't think accountants or regulators are going to love that.

It’s probably no advisable to quit a stable career to pivot into coding anymore.

[Bryan Creely - A Life After Layoff @LifeAfterLayoff]

@hamptonism Everyone is talking about this.

[Bryan Creely - A Life After Layoff @LifeAfterLayoff]

@darrenjr Well this is certainly a take.

[Bryan Creely - A Life After Layoff @LifeAfterLayoff]

@JesseCohenInv I’m thinking it is now safe to assume they are coming after everyone’s jobs. Start preparing, even if it doesn’t impact you. Build your networks. Sharpen your skills. Track your results. Get that resume together. You don’t want to be passive anymore.
