  • Good points!

    The timing is quite important. Other things to consider are tax periods, bonuses, and nature of the markets. That can all be racked up as cost of doing business if the long-term benefits outweigh the long-term costs.

    Especially if they are having a bad year or quarter, performing layoffs can show promise of a better next quarter since severance is basically a fixed cost to the number of employees you have.

    There isn’t necessarily one size fits all but the bottom line is dropping employees saves money as human resources are always one of the largest costs of operating.




  • I find it’s going to need to get even more convenient for the general public to be interested in it. Federation almost needs to be a ‘background’ process that the end user doesn’t really need to deal with. Otherwise, it’ll be a little too complicated or obscure to comprehend for most. I know it isn’t rocket science but we’re talking about the general public, here.


  • When you have to deal with quirks (and Adobe just progressively adding more ‘quirks’ to overcome) to use the programs you need to make your living, your initial claim of ‘just use Linux!’ still sounds like an unhelpful answer. I mean I use Linux daily but I still need to work in an ecosystem.

    Regarding Picasso, use whatever for personal art but people use the “industry standard” so they know any of their colleagues can use my deliverable for anything they should need to is a novel thing. I have plenty of personal experience why deviating causes problems where you least expect it to. It’s a shitty monopoly but I’m glad you have a means that allows you to work outside of it (keep doing it, it’s a good thing!)


  • Sure, but when I’m a cog in a bigger machine I need to prioritize my work being able to be continued by others or else I’ll be stuck making every single change on it that needs to be made in the future. The architecture we use to use the same PSD on AE projects and embedded webapps is essential to the system functioning as needed. Many, if not most places follow that same line of thinking and using a separate program that isn’t intended for that inner-platform use. It might be kool-aid but it’s a problem bigger than what OS I’d like to use.
