Location probably matters, where are you?

Not a tech center, and I'm talking about USA-remote jobs exclusively.

To be fair, in the best of climates that is still searching in a niche market with an attempt to do something new with an engineering experience gap

It confuses me when people talk about frameworks as being totally different. They solve the same problems, slightly differently. It’s not a big lift to learn a new one if you are familiar with one or two already.


That might be generally true for frontend frameworks these days, because they’ve all converged around the same ideas. But in the mid 2010s, Backbone was very different from jQuery, which was very different from Knockout, Ember, ReactJS etc. certain frameworks embraced certain programming paradigms, others embraced others.

Some of my colleagues didn’t make the jump. Those that were the most into AngularJS back then are still writing Angular apps today.


Most people don’t do this and won’t start


All you need is some deposits


I love this. Would absolutely buy one if it were for sale. Thanks for posting.


Also these would be awesome display pieces for a jewellers selling watches. Not sure there'd be a correlation with sales, but it'd give people being dragged around those shops something to pay attention to.


Having lived in Hong Kong for a significant portion of my life, I have a soft spot for the SCMP. However it is owned by Alibaba now, so effectively an arm of the CCP.

Use it wisely to bias western propaganda with eastern.


Sure that means they need half the number of engineers to stand still. Most companies aim to grow not stand still.


“Fixed lump of work fallacy” as noted by commenter above. If a company can get 100% more output they don’t fire half their people so they stand still/get no additional productivity gain.

They produce twice as much and grow.

What forum is this???


“Fixed lump of work fallacy”

You're relying on theoretical work needed by employers to be unlimited. You're also assuming all of this additional work can't be handled by an LLM.

First of all fixed lump of work is not a fallacy. We do know there is a limit as there's limits in the amount of work human brains can even comprehend. A limit exists. We don't know where exactly this limit is, but a limit DOES exist and an LLM may possibly cover that limit.

Second, you have to assume that this "additional work" can't be handled by the LLM. How can you be sure? Did you think about what this work actually is? My first thought was "cleaning the toilets."

>What forum is this???

I assume it's a forum of people who don't base their lives off of concepts with buzzwords. “Fixed lump of work fallacy” is a fancy phrase for a fancy concept... that doesn't mean it's an actual fallacy or actually true. Literally you just threw that quote up there as if the slightly clever wording itself proves your point.

What Exactly is this additional work that will pop up once LLMs are around and so powerful they can do all human intellectual work? Can you even do a concrete/solid real-world analysis without jumping to vague hypotheticals covered by fancy worded conceptual quotations? The last guy used analogies as part of his logical baseline of reasoning. Wasn't convincing to me.


States do have secrets. And when those secrets are grave and destructive, their citizens have a right to know about them.


This is obviously false. All states have intelligence agencies military secretes ect.


Of course they do. And where states' intelligence agencies or militaries overstep their mandates their citizens should know and act accordingly/


We also say children have a right to mot be abused yet there are many child abusers....


So you're saying the public not knowing the names of informants in Afghanistan is the same as child abuse?
