So you suggest they give out free money to people they don't need?
If you believe it negatively impacts Cloudflare, feel free to start a competing company and hire all those; it's free market after all, anyone can raise money if you can show there is any point in your vision.
What's funny is software guys have forever automated jobs of others. Remember? Automating e-commerce logistics? Automating taxis? Automating vacuuming of floor?
But when their own job is in danger, "think of employees" comes into consideration?
Correct. The laid off staff can now build a startup with the skills they have learned at Cloudflare and compete.
AI exists now and there are no more excuses for them.
Feel free to start an Indian company. But you don't do that. You come to the West like Nadella and Pichai and take away the jobs in Western companies, genius.
And in the case of Nadella, ruin said companies.
