It's very close to 123456 * 8 + 6 = 987654 and the rest.

I just wrote an article on that (and the fact that this submission on HN exists, I was not expecting that)

Flutter was already affected in this wave.

The issue is that now they're hiding. Those who do the decision no longer send emails, no longer show up in townhalls (if they organized).

There was a townhall for the past wave of layoffs where the exec in charge preferred to take the meeting via video call from a huddle in the same building as the auditorium where the townhall was taking place. Just to not be seen with the employees.

This. There was a sudden push to reduce costs and people with decision power tried to make sure their teams won't get affected.

Flutter team (Front End), was also axed.

Yes, I admit that this was a little bit reductionistic. I was aiming it to be mostly a joke about the situation, didn't expect it to garner so much response

Yes, production code is C++, but the way the models are built is Python code, colab, save via Orbax/TF SavedModel, etc and then serve in C++. All (most, to hedge it) development is done via Python.

I don't directly develop the models, I played with some for fuzzing [1] and I'm working on security for them [2]. And, before joining GOSST, I was leading the OSS DevInfra team in TF. I still have the most number of commits made by a human [3] even after 2 days of leaving the team, though I see the next person only needs 4 more :)
