We sit down, you know, I'm going to say, Hey, how's the business? You know, how's, how are things going? Whatever it is. And, and literally again, the same experience sitting from across the table. It was like, yeah, we made a mistake in letting you go. Right. So when I heard that, bam, when I heard that, I was like, Holy smoke. Internally, I'm like jumping for joy. I'm like, I knew it. I knew it.

I knew it.

I knew it.

Come on.

Come on.

I guess I was, I just, I just didn't, you know, hang a lot on it, but I understand what you're saying. Like feeling like when you leave, you leave a hole that is noticeable. Right. Right. Like, yeah, I love that. I mean, I'm not going to lie.

It's, it's, it's feeling that you have that kind of impact, but the thing is the higher ups are probably never going to feel it as much as your team or as much as people you work with closely day to day.

That was great. Yeah. Oh, it felt amazing. It felt amazing. I was in cloud nine. I was like, oh, man, I knew it.

It's just a hunch that I got. So one of the things that I do and have always done as a professional is I'm always looking at job postings, right? So while, you know, you have, you know, YouTube, you know, influencers saying, hey, this framework is the best thing or whatever.

Like people are, you know, geeks get excited, you know, nerds get excited about, you know, technologies and programming and everything else. I'm like, okay, that's one lens. The other lens is what are companies actually hiring for? What list of technologies do you see on those job descriptions? So I'm always looking at those job descriptions. Hey, what do SREs need to know these days?

Hey, what does a full-stack developer need to know these days? So I'm always keeping an eye out to see where the trend is going. Regardless of what the hype is doing, I'm looking at what people are actually getting paid for. So I started noticing, right, the same job. I would literally bookmark it, right? I would take a screenshot of it, right?

And I started noticing the same job, right, with almost the same description, maybe a word change here and there, often from the same recruiter, other times from a different recruiter, but the same job, again, with a word change here and there, right, asking for the same exact thing. And I'm like seeing the same thing come up over again week after week after week after week after week, right?
