This is Coda Radio, episode 604 for January 21st, 2025. Hey, friends, and welcome in to Jupyter Broadcasting's weekly talk show, taking a pragmatic look at the art and the business of software development and the world of technology. My name is Chris, and joining us right there, looking at real estate, I assume, it's our host, Mr. Dominic. Hey, Mike. Hello. Hello. How are you doing over there?
Are you taking in the scenes?
I am taking in the scenes. I am refactoring the code. Sure, sure. And I, most of all, and I think this is really the, how do you say, the important part. I don't know why I was confused about that. I am freezing my ass off from what I can only describe as a startup winter.
Yes, I was wondering if the chill had reached you. You know, because... The word is, it ain't like it used to be out there. You know, and even just a few years ago here on the show, it was a totally different scene. I mean, just imagine like when the app store was really taking off and online, you know, like blogs and web presence were really taking off.
I mean, you know, even go back to like, you know, 2013, 2014, 2015. It seemed like, oh, everybody who's cool is joining a startup and they're making like great money and they have great perks and they're getting some sort of vested schedule and they're going to have a ton of money when they cash out.
And now it sort of seems like the trends have changed and that seemingly more and more folks are looking for safer alternatives like big tech jobs and kind of critiquing the overall startup world and what it is. It's like a vibe shift.
It is a total vibe shift. And we have this article from Someone's name I'm having trouble pronouncing. You take a crack, Chris. I'm going to say just Vince. We can probably just go by his first name. Just go with Vince. Yeah, Vince. He makes a couple of claims.
Now, I think it'd be better if you ran through because I think he actually kind of misses – he gets the little boats, but he misses the giant Titanic in this. And I think you can probably guess what I'm going to say.
All right. Well, the things he focuses on is – Obviously, to people that are looking for jobs, the human cost has become more visible. We hear all these stories of burnout, people's relationships that failed because of how hard they were working, the mental health struggles people have had, just a big label of massive burnout.
