What a ghoulish title for a layoff announcement.

It might be 6-12 months before we have AGI but in the meantime at least we have a whole series of new anti-labor euphemisms to contend with!

Misleading headline. This is layoffs, not a redesign.

>> We’re at an inflection point, both as a company and as an industry. The way businesses build for the web is changing fast. AI is rewriting the rules for how marketing teams create, test, and optimize digital experiences. And the companies that move decisively through moments like this are the ones that come out ahead.
I work in exactly this field and I make relevant revenue. I absolutely do not think this is in any way true nor proven by actual needs. In fact this is not even happening as described. Companies like webflow are following blindly an empty promise with the hope at some point it becomes self-fulfilling, disregarding their people and sacrificing any morals on the altar of growth for growth’s sake and investors pressure. All this to say, more concisely: fuck Webflow as well.

> As a result, many of our Webflow teammates are leaving the company today.
Translation: Webflow has achieved AGI internally.

One more iteration, I swear.

tl;dr
We've raised a lot of money and VC's are pushing for exit. It's now or never. Rebrand, slap on agentic AI and pray to google gods for a quick buyout.
