Event Loop: Responding to the Amazon Layoffs

November 03, 2025

This is a bonus Event Loop episode keeping you in the loop regarding current events. Amazon just announced they are laying off around 14,000 employees. Was it due to AI? Does this represent the beginning of the end for our field? And how should we all respond around the industry?

About Me

Hi, I'm James! I'm a software engineer who has been building software for over 25 years. I've worked on a lot of code, worked in a lot of systems, and worked with a lot of people in that time. I decided to make this podcast to share some of the things I've learned along the way.

If I have one, I'd say my superpower is being a highly extroverted storyteller. I love sharing stories, building empathy, and learning from other's experiences.

Join me every week as we explore the undertold social aspects of software engineering!
