Intel's layoffs are sparking concern amongst Washington County leaders. Democrats are so used to viewing business as their piggy banks to fund their latest wasteful programs, and now it looks like they'll have less revenue. Plus they have to support all those newly unemployed with the reduced tax base. And all the other businesses that depended on the patronage of Intel employees will suffer, too. KGW has a nice video on all the problems facing Portland and Oregon state. It doesn't look good, and it's probably now too late for the state to do anything. So they'll continue to spend money to make sure the criddlers are comfortable with their mobile services, including coffee services, blankets, tents, etc. Let the protestors make noise and riot near OHSU waterfront and the Mirabella retirement condos. Graffiti returns after every clean-up. There's gunshots and apartment fires and theft. What a mess Portland is.

Even the homeless in Portland are amazed that the city has spent $97,000 per person on them. He guessed it was around $50. 🤣

Kiro is Amazon's entry into the coding assistant arena. We'll see. Claude Code is what people still think is best, although Google bought Windsurf.

Demand for Indian coders has collapsed. All those techies that invested time and money into coding now finding that their skills are not needed anymore. Unfortunately, the schools such as Indian Institute of Technology are not able to create new classes for the students, because exactly what will be in demand is still unclear. Really unfortunate waste of all that brain power.
