Sounds like Russia's tech industry - including internet, software, etc. - is seeing sharp declines in revenue, with widespread, major layoffs.
"The economy is in s***. It seems like everyone really needed IT specialists, there was a shortage of personnel, and all that. But the market has no money for development, the marketing tools have collapsed. Although both marketers and IT specialists are needed, there is no money. But everyone is hiding this."

«Денег нет, но все это скрывают». В России начались массовые сокращения айтишников
Нынешний год для российского ИТ-рынка заканчивается увольнениями.

Can we create an English dialect that spells “colour”, “flavour”, etc, but that spells “recognizable” and not “recognisable”, “specialization” and not “specialisation”, etc?
The colour and such words with a “u” are way prettier, but the ones with an s instead of a z are just weird. Z is way better

I am writing a #podcast feed generator with @…
It is interesting how no two podcast feed look the same. Some have one or two namespaces (usually itunes and podcasting 2.0) and some have over half a dozen (rawvoice, googleplay, purl, atom, etc.).
itunes tags greatly vary in quantity and syntax. Several of them are not even listed on the Apple official page for Podcast RSS pages. https://help.apple.com/itc/podcasts_connect/#/itcb54353390
Of course, that page is incomplete and you can find other tags that are still in use in their documentation...
Some people added tags from podcasting 2.0 that never got accepted, and are not even mentionned as proposed anymore (for instance, @… uses podcast:id).
Some publsh enclosures in formats nobody understands (for instance, Peertube publishes m3u8 files...)
This is an incredible mess. And I'll probably add to it by publishing one more incomplete generator 😅

One obvious reason this could be the case, despite the stimulus impact of the war, is that a lot of dotcoms / tech companies are highly sensitive to the stock market, VC funding, etc.
IOW, revenue from the stock market & VC funding suddenly disappeared, leaving them at the mercy of high rate loans, due to the historically high Russian central bank key rate.
And so, huge swathes of high tech are at risk of debt spirals and ever-increasing rates on loans.

Bei den Sachen, die ich mache, denke ich mir im allgemeinen etwas ...
... um dann keine Ahnung mehr zu haben, was ich mir dabei gedacht habe.
