A.k.a. get canned, laid off, sun-setted, separated, the boot, the pink slip, and getting fired. These are all synonymous with a "reduction in force", the most corporate way to put it. In this episode we talk about it. I give my perspective as someone who has seen this phenomenon more than once. Hopefully you can glean some wisdom from my experience. We then talk about becoming an "expert in a field" and my love/hate relationship with elasticsearch. I then shout into the void about how great "just building and iterating" is. Like anyone has had "building and iterating" for dinner before. I ended up learning a whole bunch about opensearch after this episode.

We then answer a few questions about learning cloud, and JIRA cards. God I love JIRA cards. They are so great with all of those fields that no one uses. They take so long to load it gives me time to take a piss. Really keeps a cadence to my morning.
