Sorry to hear you were one of those receiving that dump work. I saw it happen to one of the most talented developers I've worked with at a prior gig a few years back. A few of us made a pact to never dump our work on "V___" and try to lighten his workload. Hopefully, this will improve people's situations.

You may consider yourself rude, but it takes a lot of guts to admit what you just did. There's a lot of honesty there.

There are probably others who feel very similar to you, minus expressing it. And you having posted it may have helped inspire an observer.

There are probably moments where you've been "right" and didn't notice it.

The adtech places I've worked at relied on cookies. They usually have massive networks of major sites and track your browser activity as you browse different.

However, the servers were always crashing and I was always wondering when the customers would figure out that they were throwing money away.

This happened at my prior job which ambush fired me back in February. I noticed that their main investors had started to back out of tech investments in general, and then heard about several rounds of layoffs since then. Friends told me about a morale drop, but they are also friends, and might have been trying to soften the blow.

Anyhow, I like your idea for dayssincelastlayoff.com.

He's also citing the inclusion of women's right to vote. To even question a demographic's right like that makes him incredibly suspect in my eyes.
I can, and so can women.

"Since 1920, the vast increase in welfare beneficiaries and the extension of the franchise to women — two constituencies that are notoriously tough for libertarians — have rendered the notion of “capitalist democracy” into an oxymoron."
