an 18-year senior software developer is working at mcdonald's got laid off 8 months ago when his company replaced a team of 12 engineers with 2 AI specialists sent 100+ applications. every interview they ask how he approaches a codebase. they're visibly disappointed. they don't want that anymore one HR interviewer told him "developers are a thing of the past" he knows 200+ developers in the same situation insane. this is the part nobody talks about when they celebrate vibe coding

🚨 BREAKING Canada’s entrepreneurship rate just hit a 45-year low. IT GETS WORSE. The number of Canadians who actually run businesses with employees dropped 57% since 2000. IT GETS WORSE. VC investment got cut in half in two years. Seed rounds here are 40% smaller than the US. IT GETS WORSE. In 2024, for the first time ever, more Canadian-educated founders started their companies in the US than in Canada. Only 1 in 3 are still based here. IT GETS WORSE. Y Combinator briefly removed Canada from its acceptable jurisdictions list entirely. They sent a message. New businesses created since 2015: France up 86% UK up 40% US up 34% Canada? Flat. 191,000 → 190,000 $66 billion in startup ecosystem value: gone from Toronto, Vancouver, and Montreal in five years. We’re not just losing OUR BEST to the US. We’re losing the people who CREATE the jobs. THE BEST PEOPLE ARE LEAVING.










They want the forever war. How many more parents with no sons? How many more children with no fathers? By their logic, it never ends.
