I've reviewed a lot of student portfolios too, and while many still need some guidance and refinement, there are a shocking number not just doing everything right, but going way beyond any reasonable expectation. There is some *incredible* junior talent the industry is missing out on right now :(
Robin-Yann StormIt's been awful to see principal level folks struggling to find a job for a year+, and this portfolio also opened my eyes to all the unknown juniors who cannot find jobs either. I knew about that issue, but someone with this level of portfolio not finding a job is genuinely nuts to me.
The last big layoff I was adjacent to, my team lost a couple person-months of productivity in the aftermath. We literally accounted for it in sprint planning, knowing people's capacity was going to be less due to the emotional stress of it all. Layoffs have *so many* negative knock-on effects.
Robin-Yann StormAs someone who has going through multiple big company layoffs over my career (That’s the game industry for you!), I can tell you that there isn’t much work happening at the companies that had the layoffs. For sake of velocity and quality, IC layoffs are the opposite of what you need.
It's that time of year again! If you suffer from imposter syndrome too, consider that *maybe* that thing that you've spent hundreds of hours working on that feels obvious to you *now* maybe isn't so obvious to others, and you could craft a cool talk about it! gdconf.com/call-for-sub...

It’s gut wrenching how many lovely, intelligent, passionate, and dedicated people will be discarded as a consequence for the capricious delusions of billionaires. Who still suffer no real consequence. Our colleagues deserve better.

Trans rights are human rights.
Gillian BranstetterI'm so thankful to Becky and her mom for their trust, generosity, and strength in front of the Supreme Court. No matter what the Court says, Becky is a hero for standing up for herself and trans girls like her. Doing what's right, even when the odds are against you, is the definition of courage.
I can’t even make a joke about it. I’m just tired and angry.
Nick MudryAlso the fact you can just remove the "2" from this URL and get the Concord closure sure is something. Can't even be empathetically original in your subject about ruining people's lives: sonyinteractive.com/en/news/blog...
