I'm not sure if this is a weekly release of a topic or a total release on April 25th. Wish there was a way to get in touch with the author!

Hi, author here. My email is [email protected] and Twitter is @AlSweigart. Please do send me feedback/questions.

I'm currently working on the HTML version of the book to be posted online, which will be at http://automatetheboringstuff.com

I am suspect that IBM would layoff so many at once even if it were their intention to reorganize. The negative press involved with such a huge record breaking layoff would just add insult to injury. It would be much more likely to be 100,000+ over a length of time.

Regardless I am sorry for the terror that this week must be based on this potentially unethical news article.
