What Steve Yegge actually said

Steve Yegge 11 Mar 2026 Software engineer of four decades who spent years at Amazon and Google

I'm mad at Amazon for laying off 16,000 people and blaming AI without an AI strategy for it. Those people are not going to be able to find jobs, by and large, and they're the first of many to come and nobody has a plan for this.
