I used one who has since retired. She was pricey but worth it. Also she had no programming experience. At first I was in denial of her feedback, but after applying it, saw immediate results.

Anyways unfortunately no, but look on LinkedIn and ask for references.

> I never earned above $120k per year (USD). Even after 10 years and being the top dev in every company I worked at.

If your skills are as strong as you perceive them, then there is at least ONE valid reason you haven't landed a more profitable job, especially if you were applying between 2018-2022. I recommend paying for a reputable third party to review your resume, and your "about me" statement. They don't even need to be trained in cs. You'll also need to do so with an open mind and not be defensive about criticism. Good luck!

+1 . Specifically the SW airlines ones don't allow for me to type on my laptop comfortable, while the other planes in their fleet do. Between that, and the increase in boarding/sitting on tarmac times, I've been avoiding flying and trying to vacation in places I can drive to.

My father majored in Journalism, despite having a much more mathematical leaning mind, and small business career. He swears it was the best decision with similar arguments. I'm not 100% convinced it should be the one and only major as he did, but a dual major/minor does sound great.

I can only give you an antidote of its dangers in a different category.

My significant other, an otherwise very intelligent women, will ask ChatGPT health questions. She knows it might be wrong, but does it anyways to debug her health. I try to point out that even getting suggested a bad diagnosis is very dangerous. The advice it gives has way less nuanced than say the healthMD which has it owns flaws. And unlike coding questions, you can't assume health advice is right until you prove it wrong.

Do you have a source of this, news to me

Yeah that seems closer to my experience. From my perspective, 2016ish was peak. At least thats when I had to to argue the most against trying to needlessly break up services.

I don't think so. CNN America isn't a Chinese product as far as I'm aware. Therefore I think /u/chaud is trying to say that TikTok is just giving the people what they want.

Me too! To add to that, whenever I see good visuals of global energy markets, and traders in a room full of screens, I get excited in a way I use to get excited seeing a terminal being used before I knew anything about coding.

Plausible deniability is my non professional guess

Not OP, but I noticed around the same time an increase in focus of looking at every issue through the lens of racial inequities, which got worse during covid and the BLM protests. That being said, they sent out a survey a year ago asking specifically about this, and I think theres been an effort to not have so much tunnel vision.

Source: me, take this all with a huge grain of salt

Edit: Upon reading which podcasts were cancelled, I feel my theory is somewhat validated.

I think I agree with you, but to play devil's advocate, the video game industry is struggling to monetize their work.

No one wants to pay for games anymore, no one wants a pay to win system in a game, and cosmetic items seem like a waste of money to most. The result is the gaming industry pulling out all the tricks to try to separate the consume from his or her wallet to pay for content.

> Senior Christian Sanchez, executive vice president of the Associated Students of Stanford University, the student-government group, said the system is necessary and important. Mr. Sanchez, who describes himself as Chicano, said he has bristled in the past when another student has addressed him as “G,” short for gangster.

Is he implying this is a reportable offense? I've never heard "G" used in a derogatory sense, rather always endearing. Do we not allow language to evolve?

> beyond some hand-wavey "collaboration" answer that companies are giving

I'm confused what the alternative is that you would like. I'm sure they can link a bunch of studies that show its more productive to work in office, and I'm guessing those that want to stay remote will show a bunch of other studies that say its not; which continues ad nauseam.

Spread some of that tribal knowledge, what worked for her?
