my new (recycled?) working theory is that the reason there are so many terrible coding resources is because the demand for good coders is so high people just try to throw spaghetti at the wall to solve the problem. A more simple solution to me seems to hire people sooner, for less money. If failing at this - I'd imagine you're in the wrong place, or not making enough offers. #code

I want to find an event that was popular like 36 or so hours ago, but I'm not sure how. Ideas? #asknostr

The technology labor market right now is inverted? When in historical economics have we needed a great deal more 'senior' people than 'junior' people. It's not the same as having an 'unskilled' labor market. It's having a 'less skilled' labor market. I'd love to understand why instead of hiring a 'senior engineer' at $120,000+ or whatever people don't hire 2 'junior engineers' at like $20,000 each. I bet those 2 junior engineers would more than make up for the 'senior engineer'. This isn't to denigrate 10x philosophy. This is to say that these technology companies actually DON'T need human capital, or their managers don't have (or haven't shifted) their perspective such that they could simply apply '2 heads are better than 1' philosophy. Am I missing the mark? Or are companies mostly run right now by faux elitists who use the 'I don't have time to train' philosophy to ignore emerging talent. It seems like there's great waste right now and I'm looking for ways to transform it to productivity. #asknostr #dev

entrepreneurship in the united states has turned into one big etsy shop. if you're looking to start a business but don't know where to start maybe it makes sense to figure out what it would require to start a chip fab. sometimes working on problems that seem less accessible is a better use of time than using skills or resources already around. We're dependent on tech, why not try to build it? Vertically integrate our supply chains. #asknostr
