There are some really good ones out there that can place into decent positions. The problem is it takes time/connections to find them.

This will carry on for 2-4 years, until there's another wave of hiring spree. Then, people will get picky again and a new cycle will begin.

I'm kind of on the fence with this one. As someone who does programming at work,I don't want to be partially replaced by a prompt, however there are also lots of sectors, where the problems are big and solving them could help a lo

So I recently finished a job, where I had to create a custom POST endpoint on Salesforce,so it'd take a simple JSON payload, apply some logic and save to the database. The job itself was a few hours with tests,etc. Well guess what, alm

In 10 years this could effectively be the end of Hollywood. Imagine if it can write a story and feed into 3d engine and output pitch perfect videos.

People don't think 'I should do that'. Instead, they think 'I haven't got a clue hot to better off myself, I'm stuck'. Then comes along an easy course and obviously they think they'll get unstuck by p

Thanks for your comments. I've been pirating one way or another for a couple of decades. Always always saw the crackers as someone who did it for anything but money.

I offered people working in a call centre environment to learn crm administration: gradually, with all the support they may need, etc. We would have transitioned them into new roles once they gained some knowledge. The pay in new roles woul

I think the problem is multifaceted: 1) Managers often don't know what skills people lack or how to take them a few steps up using new skills. Usually these are not the core skills people need to do the job. For instance, an accountant

I'm currently in some surreal world because of a large government contract our company had won. Multiple companies are involved. Lack of any meaningful systems, people who have no technical understanding about anything making decisions

I'd argue about the "are still fine" part. My country was under soviet occupation. We were so behind that it's beyond scary. A plastic bag with Bruce Willis or Stallone's face printed on it was something out of thi

It can be anything really. Better medication design, discovery and modelling of new compounds, disease discovery, better understanding of our environment, etc.

I had a look at some properties in Chicago. Obviously no idea how good or bad the areas are,but the housing prices made me jealous when I compared to what we could buy for the same money in Lithuania.

So is this the reason why my lights inside my home are flashing every time I use slow motion mode on my phone camera?

Same here. Of all the software companies, Docusign has the easiest, most straightforward product that is neither resource intensive nor it requires some bleeding edge innovation. So what do all those people do really?..

It does. It wouldn't happen on day one. But, slowly, it would start creeping in. As someone else commented: what if, you buy some mega turbo sex toy 3000 and a couple of years later super religious orthodox government wins elections. W

The last time I used cash was some dodgy kebab kiosk. I don't carry any coins or banknotes. I don't even have a wallet, just a card underneath the phone cover. However, I don't want my or any other country going full digital

I used Yahoo about twice. Then, a couple of months later, I tried this new thing called google and I don't remember visiting Yahoo again. So I'm equally surprised that they still exist after all those years.

Well, you are right. My BMI is off the charts,but not because I don't go to the gym,but because I overeat in the evening. There's no exercise on the planet that can offset multiple trips to the fridge before you go to bed. And the

The context switching is substantial with 6 clients, even if it's the same tech. As for 1 day per week: a very senior person can give good advice or point to the right direction. The company I work for isn't a tech company, but we

I have a feeling not many Swiss buy a satnav, go on a two week trip with it and then return just before the return policy ends.

That's exactly how it is. I still remember going into the office, when the company was going through some very tough period, and sitting with the directors and other managers. All we had was a spreadsheet with employee names, position

FOMO. A handful of CEOs start headcount reductions and others feel pressure to do the same, because eventually boards and shareholders ask those questions. So to 'calm the markets', an announcement with 10K jobs, is due.
