the whole tech thing is changing fast, ageism is a true thing, in a scenario where most of the previous knowledge can be ignored, being a senior with 5 years of experience, 10 or 20 doesn't change much. Given that young people usually

Notice the fast decline in the last 20 years? Even active X was less crappy than the most well-polished actual react project, and active X was crap. Even java applets did more and in an easier way than modern frameworks and JS shit. One sim

I recently tried and got exactly this, wouldn't be fair for the others to have to work more to compensate for me, and they wanted some committed to working. I will keep trying, maybe is the moment to shame these companies back to see i

Same with "MLOps" tools... same with every niche, bunch of useless tools just trying to grab some market. But this is not a recent thing, every time the current thing gets flooded with crap ideas competing for some market share

I can say that I know people who are much less skilled than you and also less ethic, that are hacking into any low hanging fruit that they can and selling a shell (access) to those systems to FSB. I imagine that Ukraine would have a similar

somehow people with the cognitive capacity of a rotten potato would call you science denier for being pro freedom. I'm not talking about vaccines and such, but being pro freedom as in being against a survilance state which can fuck you

> Expectations have changed, technology has changed This I agree, nowadays people start with a lot already done, no need to write a custom audio codec, or image compression trick or whatever, not only there is plenty of code ready for do

apparently more budget, more advanced technology and team members a game has, crappier it gets. 90s games were simpler due to lot of restrictions, but most main stream titles were quite polished. this company sure made several mistakes on t

thank you for your answer, this was very informative, I got caught into the ME/CFS rabbit hole for a few days, sorry for the delay coming back to your comment. A lot of things make sense for my situation of feeling tired all the time,

Let's push the idiocracy to the extreme by asking Arkose to add a timeout to their captchas, so people have to solve it fast and make the default puzzle be a prime factorization. Modern web become so unusable and poluted that I don&#x2

degree is required just as a filter for the HR, honestly this seems like a too little experience to be an architect, even in central or western europe, your salary should be above 100k€ for this position, even higher if you are in a smaller

The first email looks like someone who had zero idea of what they were doing, just did some dependency scanning and got your name/email there, probably these emails were sent to everything that they could find. Quite well handled, not

most tech stocks still much better than they were 1 year ago... it is just a very very small correction, nothing really crashed and there is nothing to panic at all. to avoid recency bias, take a look at history and I mean from 1910-2010, a
