Why This Exists
2025 is the worst year for tech workers. This platform exists to give developers a voice.
2025: The Worst Year in Tech
The tech industry in 2025 has hit rock bottom. What started as an industry built on innovation and solving real problems has become a playground for investors more interested in quick returns than building sustainable businesses.
Companies are laying off thousands of experienced developers not because of performance, but because VCs want to see profits yesterday. Crypto crashes wiped out entire teams. Companies that raised millions are now firing people who dedicated years to building their products.
The hiring process has become a joke. Multiple interview rounds, coding challenges that require building entire applications, take-home tests that take 20+ hours, and then... ghosting. No feedback, no explanation, just silence.
Workers have had enough. This platform is where you can share your story, warn others, and finally have a voice against the corporate bullshit that has become standard in 2025.
The Real Problem: Incompetent Management
Companies are desperately trying to convince experienced developers that they are the problem. That their years of expertise somehow make them "overqualified" or "too expensive." This is complete bullshit.
The real problem? Management that literally died during COVID and never came back. The tech industry is now run by people who have no idea what they're doing. Project managers who can't manage. Product managers who can't product. Engineering managers who've never written a line of code.
These companies fire senior developers not because they're underperforming, but because management can't handle people who actually know what they're doing. Instead of fixing their broken processes, they blame the developers who point out their incompetence.
The problem isn't with developers who have experience. The problem is with companies and management teams that refuse to acknowledge their own failures.
The Problems
Mass Layoffs
Companies firing thousands of developers due to poor decisions by investors seeking instant profits, crypto crashes, and unrealistic expectations.
Toxic Hiring
Endless interview rounds, unrealistic coding tests, take-home assignments that take days, and ghosting after multiple rounds.
Investor Greed
Prioritizing short-term profits over sustainable growth, leading to constant restructuring and layoffs.
No Transparency
Companies hiding their real problems, bad management practices, and toxic work cultures until it's too late.
Broken Promises
Offers being rescinded, promises broken, and companies treating developers as disposable resources.
Blame the Developers
Companies blaming experienced developers for their failures, when the real problem is incompetent management that died during COVID and never recovered.
