About four years of total industry experience, split across two very different work domains, in what sounds like one organization.

I can't make an honest guess about whether their actual job will be "automated" or otherwise made redundant in the next year, as they suggest. Maybe they're right that they've been doing easily automatable work for these few years.

But I can question whether they have nearly enough insight, exposure, or experience for their personal anxiety to speak to the future of industry at large, to the future of FAANG's in general, or even to the future of their own "FAANGco"

I hope them the best in their personal decisions, but I wonder if they're getting a little over their skis here.

It makes sense if this is the case, he might have even anticipated being hit by the next wave of layoffs and quitted early
