Funny.

Do you feel that television, video games and the internet had a negligible impact on our culture?

Not to mention Windows 10 being sold as the last version

So what happens for those enterprise customers now? Is there a meaningful fallout when these services fail to meet their SLAs?

> If GitHub does not meet the SLA, Customer will be entitled to service credit to Customer's account ("Service Credits") based on the calculation below ("Service Credits Calculation").

The linked document in my previous comment has more detail.

It's worth adding that big (BIG!) business clients will usually negotiate the terms for going below the SLA threshold. The goal is less to be compensated if it happens, and more to incentivize the provider to never let it happen.

Right. Basically, they give you a coupon to lower your cost of future consumption. So, you have to keep consuming the service. If you just leave, you get no rebate. Obviously, very large customers get special deals.

PC said logo T-shirt and cargo shorts because they are so un-individual that they have become cliche.

Megacap investors already cargo cult business practices that reduce their own return and harm employees. This is why they all over-hired at the start of covid only to begin layoffs a couple of years later.

In summary: billionaires aren't as competent as you'd hope.

40 years of an ego dependent on Russian roulette.

If you still have a manager, it's not a bad layoff

Indeed. It's hard to imagine the size of the carrot needed for me to take a job with C++11.

I went through this reckoning when a company I worked for underwent layoffs for poor financial performance. Nothing I could have done since I started the job would have made it avoidable. I had the epiphany that I'd tied up my sense of self, and self-worth, with a status that I actually had very little control over.

Not being a software developer. That's actually generally a net negative, socially. It was all about class.

I've been fairly upwardly mobile. That alone gave me a feeling of success that glossed over any other inadequacies. Being comfortably financially also means - or meant - that I had the luxury of ignoring the reality of daily life for most people I met, however much I thought I hadn't lost touch.

Confronting the idea of how I'd feel about my life without it, and how the people in my life would feel about me, and how I feel about people who don't have the same comfort, is an instrumental part of me developing into a better, happier person.
