E59: Sh*tstorm

11/18/22 • 59 min

I don't know if you noticed, but it's an absolute sh*tstorm in the tech industry, and the wider economy too. But have no fear! It's a medical fact that listening to this episode will make you feel better.
So what did we talk about?

Meta laid off 11,000+ people
(As of recording) Twitter asked fired employees to return. What is going on.
FTX! The backstory, the meltdown, and current status. Crypto, eh? Whatdyagonnado. You should use Zengo.com , that's what you gotta do.

Shoutouts!

Guy: eSIM company Airalo (Copying Itamar of course :)
Hillel: Alon Matas, Founder of Betterhelp.com
Itamar: Everyone helping those from Meta and other companies to find new jobs. There are good and helpful people in this world!

It took a year, and all Itamar had to do was click 1 button... and now he found out that 5G is actually fantastic. Old news, right? Don't get me started.
It's unfortunate that there are more layoff stories in the news, but them's the times. Layoffs, Twitter stuff, etc.- it's all crazy it seems. But as usual, take comfort in this 60th episode of your favourite tech podcast.
