I don’t think it’s an economic problem. Some rich countries have done great to subsidize childcare and all that. Poor countries and poorer people within rich countries are having more kids. I think it is a cultural issue and maybe even a he

When there are downturns in tech, companies squeeze out junior people. This happens often. After 2008 a whole cohort of top talent from software engineering schools were lucky to get lower paying QA jobs and only a few landed software devel

The tech sector labor bubble started popping last year. I don’t think we’ve hit bottom yet. Stocks are at an all time high riding the AI bubble but I think that too will pop despite the soft landing certain tech leaders will hope for.

It has already been a couple of years. What time period should we revisit? And also how would we measure success?

I think it may be good for jobs in the tech sector when it bursts. The 300B invested in hardware and data centers were not being invested in labourers like ourselves.

The maps in the article wasn’t even super clear when you inspect it visually. Didn’t read the study but it can’t be that strongly correlated.

You might be surprised to learn that videos and many images are broken down into brightness + color vectors. Brightness is typically done near the resolution of the image (eg 4K) but color is often 1/4 of that. That’s literally blurrin

Development is always a bottleneck. Writing lines of code usually isn’t. I end up pumping out more leetcode during an interview than I do during a week or two on real products. No one has meaningfully measured lines of code as a metric of p

There's a relatively monotonous task in software engineering that pretty much everyone working no a legacy c/c++ code base has had to face: static analysis and compiler warnings. That seems about as boring and routine of an operat
