That's the truth of it. The sad thing is, there's probably a bigger market among NYT readers for more nuanced tech coverage than editors assume. Instead, there's a hierarchy of publications where these stories filter down, from the trade mags and review journals through to places like Wired, then finally to the big papers/mags. By the time the story gets there, though, it's lost all flavour.
Tend to agree. NYT's tech coverage especially can be pretty dire, not just on stuff like this but on crypto, too. Credit to the author/editor, though, for mentioning jobs elsewhere in IT are still in demand, halfway down the story.
Is this actually a concern amid a global IT skills shortage? Get the impression that this seems to be mainly gifted students having less of a chance of getting their dream job.
would be really interested in learning what proportion of data was exfiltrated by AWS compared to Azure. Microsoft were really ginning up their involvement in a similar scheme earlier this year: https://query.prod.cms.rt.microsoft.com/cms/api/am/binary/RE...
