This again. If this was truly the case, then they would put an immediate stop to the offshoring / nearshoring that has been rampant in the industry for the last 20 years.
Not a single push back against the H1B/Offshoring happening in the US. Keep it up corporate america... you going to have your next competiton being created by you from those remote workers banding together.
I too hit the 50. For the last 8 years I been 100% remote and seen the office ONE time only and that was just to hug a buddy happy retirement. Later on I found out his wages were cut and he found a new job. I quickly joined him with a competitor.
The pro RTO people are nothing short of power hungry. They like flexing their will against others. That’s why having leverage and a huge f*ck you fund is necessary. Especially when it’s going to take a year to un frack this IT job economy. A quick fix would be removal of all IT h1b. The that would get Americans back to work. We all know they use it to keep wages down.
Dell does this but continues to outsource to India and China where communication is an epic problem that has never been solved. This is nothing short of a stealth layoff. If they were so interested in communicating they would hire all US and stop the outsourcing.
I have first hand experience with this product for over 2 years. It is a PITA from a SRE/Devops Security point of view. Things constantly break, the indexes, emailing reports, just general bit rot. The source code is at best a good first attempt, but sorely lacking.
I tested this out on my workload ( SRE/Devops/C#/Golang/C++ ). it started responding about non-sense on a simple write me boto python script that changes x ,y,z value.
Then I tried other questions in my past to compare... However, I believe the engineer who did the LLM, just used the questions in benchmarks.
One instance after a hour of use ( I stopped then ) it answered one question with 4 different programming languages, and answers that was no way related to the question.
the author(s) of the article, completely ignore the cpu itself can be patched. there is microcode underneath the ARM instructions for such scenarios. Look at intel, there has been undocumented microcode for decades I beleive these articles are just hype for street cred.
Listen to me, what hurts most people. is DEBT and run away spending. Stop both of it.
I been through 2000,2008, 20015(:) and 2023, layoff a few times, and my answer now is, shut up and pay me. Build a 1 or 2 year F-U fund and have zero debt. You know what happens after a layoff if you have that? Nothing. you sleep well and start looking for a Gig or FTE without the pressure of bills. It shows up in interviews.
he is not the only one, or will be the last. Having your name on the main line of the kernel is really worth $$$. However here is a pro tip.
FreeBSD, being a kernel commit, and having your name in it, you will be snatched up by various companies that use it, and not only puts a footnote that they do.
Example, Apple, Playstation, Juniper, Oracle, etc.
