“…however younger employees greatly benefit from in person learning and mentoring.”
Doesn’t require a permanent office. Temp cowork spaces or bundling working with a career mentor in the final stretch of college are two options I just thought of laying in bed while also thinking about making coffee.
More of the same is not an option for all the cost-benefit analysis that’s come up before.
Prior to world war industrialization, 90% of workers were independent. Post-war office life was a result of wartime solutions to logistics. A statistical outlier in human history.
Source control is my package manager. Package managers as we usually think of them are syntax sugar and abstraction for the sake of abstraction
Working on a Linux distro that is one unified/generalized/normalized code base (with the help of AI/ML) and a model to sample and establish correct state from memory of the initial code base.
One way to think of it is like a game engine with action plans to allocate resources to recreate Firefox, for example. Not compile and run Firefox, but using *alloc() and free(), etc to establish the correct machine state to browse websites after learning what that state is in the abstract from Firefox’s code.
My thinking is many of our “truisms” in IT are outdated given modern machine performance and network reliability relative to the 80s and 90s when many of those “truisms” were defined.
It won’t be an organized revolution but single unknowable moment which triggers a bunch of people say “fuck this shit”.
Because you’re right; traditional political groups are fading away as people realize everybody is being boned.
The people in charge today have things locked up. Generational churn is an active process. New leadership may be intentionally worse or unintentionally inept.
It’s like trying to predict the next pandemic, not so much a market crash. Markets are social systems and can be sorted socially. Moments that trigger sudden social unrest are more like pandemics; less frequent, trying to predict them involves many more variables.
The potential ripple effect is too big to ignore for much longer. 100,000 engineers is tip of ice berg when it comes to number of people feeling the squeeze.
Social media commentary has been trending towards outright hostility towards the rich and politicians, not just in the usual discourse hellholes like Reddit and Xitter, but even here (I have access to dashboards that model and weight discourse; technically proprietary though so I can’t divulge too much.)
Too many people with too much time on their hands, with little expectation of help from the system will foster sentiment it is time replace the system. I don’t disagree but think it should be handled intentionally, not waved off until last minute like we did with covid and climate change.
In the US there are only 1 million LEO but an order of magnitude more of people who stand to lose it all if austerity for the proles goes on too long.
