Reminder that your employer doesnt care about you and that these folks are straight psychopaths.
Today weβre laying off a large part of the Airtable team.
This is not a reflection of their work but a reflection of our deep belief that small teams ship more and better.
For Airtable, better is about to look like:
- A new Core team shipping your top requests monthly (already 30+ shipped in 3 weeks)
- Upgraded Omni, Airtable Canvas, a stronger MCP, and BYO agents, coming soon
- New Performance and Infra teams focusing on speeding up bases and increasing limits on records, fields, and syncs
To everyone leaving: thank you. If youβre hiring, these are excellent people and worth a call.

Tech dudes do not understand the purpose of art or why people enjoy it

You guys are living in a complete bubble. Step outside Silicon Valley for two seconds and youβll realize no actual human wants AI sludge crammed into every corner of every product. Touch grass. Talk to actual people.
Seriously, what is wrong with y'all? Go outside. Touch grass. Raise your kids.

"Yes AI is going to take all the jobs and we're headed for 40% unemployment but your grandma that can't afford her cancer medication can code a B2B SaaS app from the nursing home that's evicting her"
Who knew this wouldn't be a winning messaging strategy

It is incredibly upsetting seeing how hateful so much of the tech community is.
Until my trans friends can live in their country without fear outside their homes and be comfortable with themselves inside, I will celebrate trans visibility every day until bigots see what I see.

Thereβs a constant refrain of βsoftware engineers are toast broβ
The people saying it are trying to sell you something
The thing theyβre selling is always a chat gpt wrapper
And the dudes selling it were buying bored ape jpegs a few years ago
Itβs just tiring
Itβs funny how there werenβt really any AI haters in areas like image, art, or design until AI actually got good at it. Before that, it was all just a joke.
Same thing happened with coding. A year ago, most programmers saw it as something positive, even laughed about it and used it like a replacement for Stack Overflow for some stuff... But thatβs starting to change.
As soon as AI gets good enough at something, the reaction quickly shifts from laughter / skepticism to hate.

Unpopular opinion: webdev twitter is toxic.
the gatekeeping. the engagement bait. the unrelenting righteousness. it's embarrassing. and draining.
i'm tree-shaking my feed. i want it to be full of (the many) positive, encouraging, warm folks in the space. not professional hot-takers.
the world is better with more people building software (or *trying* to build software!). cheap shots may get likes, but it comes at the steep price of fewer people building their ideas.
if you're a builder (or want to be a builder <3), the only thing that matters is that you get *something* in front of *someone*. please trust me on this: the rest will fall into place. as more people discover what you've made, you'll organically arrive at the right overlap of tech and personal interest. trust-fall into that fact. ignore the rest.
with that said, there are incredible people here who are energy givers, bucket fillers, and webdev killers.
i highly recommend following at least these folks: @cassidoo @brianmmdev @reshmasaujani @kentcdodds @jlengstorf @ChloeCondon @ladyleet @tannerlinsley @ballingt @leahculver @stubbornella
i'm missing so many. who else is in the "energy giver" bucket on X?! please tag them!

Just a reminder for those watching the discourse around the crowdstrike issue:
If you use "DEI engineer" to describe a person, you are a racist.
