> A huge portion of the posts are also propaganda. Finding a new job is tied to listening to propaganda.
I am 100% convinced that a significant number of job posts on LinkedIn are entirely fake and either 1) a way to farm resumes and contact details for sales 2) propaganda to make a company appear to be hiring more than it is.
Positions from companies like Andiamo, Jobgether, etc. are most likely #1 above, while Adyen, Affirm, Airwallex are the latter.
In fact I build a prototype classifier of job listings to separate true opportunities from bullshit posts, but I am too scared to publish it and get sued to oblivion.
My wife is a nurse and keeps in touch with her school professors. They said that the number of people flooding into healthcare careers is more than most colleges can handle, and is starting to cause supply glut in some roles.
This is, to me, the "correct" answer. I am starting to see the role evolve to "software producer", which, like music producers, direct an entire problem space using tools (Claude / ProTools + presets) and occasionally bring some specialized musicians for some advanced parts. Most commercial software will be built this way, much like almost all commercial music already is.
Brian once came to Hacker News to comment on a thread I posted (about being made an offer then ghosted by Stripe for a leadership position), so if he has the time for that I'd love to see him here talking about the non-technical teams thing. Could be an interesting discussion.
they interviewed me for a generic role and placed me on Reality Labs, and I had a hunch it would go down swiftly (org was decimated 9 months later) so I didn't go.
Not a security guy here. How did the dependency get compromised, exactly? Did they submit a PR into the main repo at github and it was approved by the maintainers? Or just host compromised versions in other mirrors?
25 years into my career here. Motivation is awesome to get you that rush to start building something. Discipline, however, is far more important and will get you more success than anything else. Discipline for what? Achieving goals that you have set. If you don't have goals then that's the problem right there - how will motivate yourself for anything or have the discipline to achieve it?
Over the years my goal changed from being a software wizard to having $x.xm in my bank account by the time I am 50, thus securing my daughter's education all the way through college. Every time I don't want to join the 999th call of the week on "how we can better work together", I look at her picture and realize who I am doing that for - discipline.
