DigitalOcean is a great example, they have repurchased $1.6e9 in shares since their IPO and all the price has done is sink. They could have built their own datacenter for that much money.

It's unlikely we'll automate all of software engineering without also making considerable steps in the software of robotics(since that is also software). This puts many physical jobs up for automation as well.

For someone with no experience installing and supporting linux I would recommend an 8gb Raspberry Pi 5 instead. Mainly because they are all the same and if the beginner has problems there is a wealth of information about that specific device in beginner formats.

You might be underestimating how quickly a basic CRUD web app turns into a very complicated CRUD web app. I don't see AI code tools slowing this down.

This is interesting! I'm curious how you accounted for the layoffs at the FAANGs? They dumped a bunch of engineers on the market and anecdotally companies seem to be filling their hiring funnels without advertising.

On the 3ed page there is a plot of the funds rate to job postings that has a bunch of dots above the line until ~2.5% or so.

It 2020 being a warm body was enough to get you a job. But in this market there will be a dozen people with directly applicable experience applying as well, those people will get the first calls back.

The second list only matters once you've checked the correct box. If you go to a .NET shop and say "I've never used Microsoft products before but I'm a quick learner, look at these haskell projects" your resume is going in the bit bucket.

with the exception being if they have some constraint that means you are the only person applying to the job, e.g. they want you onsite 5 days a week in the middle of nowhere and you're the only person willing to move out there

This is actively harmful advice to someone looking for a job. The hiring team is only going to pick one person and if you want to be at the top of that list you need to be familiar with their stack.

_once you have a job_, yes then you can focus on breath and flexibility.

That's a pretty good success ratio as far as startups are concerned, right?

Will the permission to be remote continue for someone who is hired now? The only thing that stopped me from applying in the past is the requirement to relocate.

HN has a lot of main character syndrome. Anyone posting here is closer to 1/330,000,000th of Jay Powell's concern.

Pinch your nose and add "web3" to those search terms.

It's annoying that one time pricing feels worse than recurring. Roam is $15/month, so much cheaper!
