I expect the same sentiment holds despite the geography.

Queue 1/2 years and big tech starts whining about a skills shortage again.

Tech has undergone a seismic shift over just the past few years while we creaked under covid, accelerating at a quicker pace everyday. Yet our political systems are legacy, defunct and dysfunctional and chronically underprepared to handle t

This is largely the result of one thing; Money. The past few years have seen salaries climb to what could even be claimed as crazy levels, when compared to what other professionals make, esp non CS engineers. Compounded even more by the por

That was from the lock-down sea that lifted all the boats , pretty much every tech company on the planet thrived during that period.

You could just remove universities and the article would still be true.

I don't understand this tweet. The risk of what? If $x is such a risk, why is he investing $124M into the tech? Who are the investors? WTF does 'informing the planet' mean?

Very outdated, but also something that was not necessarily bad. Quite often people might be part of community and have an interest in becoming a maintainer over time, this a chance for them to also help out before giving them elevated privi

What value would learning Lisp provide, if you're not curious and learning for the love of learning, or you're not an emacs user?

It makes total sense to me. When we tax someone, are we taxing the human or the work they perform and the value derived from it?

I don't think its right, but I understand their view of why they perhaps wanted to do it. I had contact with quite few folks from IBM when I was at Red Hat and met Distinguished Engineers and Fellows and all they seemed to do was make

Why would they, there is nothing for them to gain. Their content gets trained upon without being able to even consent and they gain nothing, not clicks, ad revenue etc.

I implemented it myself in Go using github.com/golang/oauth2 and github.com/golang-jwt/jwt.

That sounds more like survivorship bias, startups typically fail over things such as product market fit, running out of cash, not how well the stack operates.

I don't think its a pure upside. Anyone wanting a job would join one of these layoff companies, of course, but anyone already in a job is going to be a bit more hesitant. I right now would not accept a role with a lot of these layoff c

To be fair, its not that hard. If I ever see my GP nowadays, I come armed with a stack of research sufficient to convince them to refer me to a specialist. GP's are generalists at the end of the day.

Jim Whitehurst was such a good CEO. I honestly had hoped he would take over as IBM CEO, but no, that would have been to good a move for IBM. So they pushed him out.

This will impact RH in the long term. Red Hat have always been on the low end around salary / TC, their draw has been seeing them as the good guys who care for their people, its a nice culture setup. This is the first set of layoffs th

Not to mention overly expensive. We just bootstrapped a remote first company, hiring people from all over the world, some are in rural areas others are in cities. If we grew to level that we need an engineering HQ, it will be in a European

Everyone pretends to be altruistic until it suits them not to be. Do people buying iPhones really care about the child labour that mined the silicon or the Chinese workers throwing themselves off the roof of Foxconn. Of course not, we just

Right, because US dollars are so clean.

Nope, luckily all my bosses have got it and were remote too (one of them spends a few days a week in the office). I produce what they need, can be relied upon and will travel to customers / tech events / all-hands when needed.

I have been remote for 11 years now and have two children 9 and 12. I can't imagine what it would have been like if I had spent the week out commuting between the hours of 7am to 7pm, we would have lost out on so much bonding time with

Something else that frames this conversation well is to consider the experience for a non programmer, inspecting the AI results to some query. We view this all through very adept and skilled eyes that know how to code an how to read code. I
