Personal Perspective: Have you ever felt that changes in your workplace have accelerated to the point where it becomes almost impossible to do your job?

Many things are "improved" until they are unable to perform the very function for which they were invented.“Is Dysfunctionalism the New Norm in Modern life?”

I felt an intense, albeit brief sense of Schadenfreude when I recently read in my local newspaper, “Data from Layoffs.fyi show that a growing number of layoffs have hit software developers, also known as coders, who—after decades of disrupting other industries and other workers’ jobs with their programs—find themselves victims.”
