Good for you. I can assure you that you'll find thousands of creative workers that will find what's missing from those tools.

> My point is you do not need to feature match Adobe to compete, making it more accessible alone could be a selling point.

That's why GIMP and Inkscape are industry standards that displaced Adobe tools.

Yeah for a chatbot to work you really need to force the non-deterministic approach to converge to the actual actions that can be taken. For the experience to be good I think you need to provide training data, such as a user story/feature request (when I ask for X, provide X, fuzz over 1000 different ways of asking for X).

Or you can just not do a chatbot.

So more meat is better?

I did too. All the time. Too many reasons not to, though (environmental, biodiversity, health/zoonotic diseases, sustainability, even some ethical, maybe), too few reasons to continue (just habit, tradition, convenience, taste).
Indeed. Not a fan of 'cloud'-based software or apps, because I know where it leads. Ultimate control over my usage by that corporation, and denial of future access through subscription models. Has happened before, and will happen again as everyone lets them get away with it.

Yeah we were talking cruise ships, which are by far the cheapest way to cross the ocean on a ship. A sailing ship is gonna be unbelievably more expensive, as that's a more bespoke experience on a much smaller vessel with worse economies of scale. Repositioning cruises on cruise ships are actually the cheapest ones per day to make up for the inconvenience of not ending where you started. The ship needs to move from one region to another for the season anyway, so from their perspective any revenue during the repositioning is an added bonus.
The BSDs, OpenBSD in particular, are built for long-term. Any change is evaluated multiple times before being integrated. From the point of view of Linux they can seem outdated/old/lagging, but from their point of view they just work.
> this class distinctions are also applied at the regional level.

Living in Hawai'i it would strike me how popular CCF was for people that came all that way (typically middle class Americans) and have access to tons of great variety in ethnic places they may not at home, along with local joints that would serve familiar food with the option of local flavour. But some of these comments put it in good context, that it is the familiar and safe choice and has a special or semi-fancy vibe to a large subset of those people.

I don't think I've eaten in one since I was a preteen and may have only been once, but come to think of it, at the time I grew up rural 45 minutes to the nearest small city, eating at cheesecake factory did seem like a special occasion.
Adobe used to have an app called Fireworks that was great for non-artists. They got it when they bought Macromedia. Too bad they killed it. I hope Graphite will replace it.

No part of what you’ve quoted changes my view an iota.

I’m not sure what has in your mind justified that immensely snarky response.

This is the equivalent of a perked-up overconfident guy bragging about his MMA skills to an uninterested date. This is the equivalent of a Tesla salesperson telling you not to worry because the car will DEFINITELY hit its stated range.

It all means nothing.

Anyone with a measly $200k or thereabouts wouldn’t be looking to waste a single cent of it on unnecessarily legal costs all to…blatantly copy a brand. This is a naive whoever looking to kick up some publicity with a meme vapourware product. Anyway, if a court ruled in Abode’s favour, it would quite frankly be a disgusting perversion of trademark law. It doesn’t pass the smell test at all. Adobe being evil doesn’t change that fact.
I would say an order of magnitude more likely, even. People always underestimate just how much even a tangential social connection improves your chances.

(FWIW, this is also why I think recruiters work.)

Ok but once you have integrity, how do you open a private channel with the website ? You do need TLS, or something akin to that, somewhere. And like all crypto stacks, holes are found and change still needs to happen.
French cuisine is universally lauded but is almost entirely based on cooking everything in lots of butter. Butter makes things very tasty. For everyday use, certainly cut back, but if you're eating out, spoil yourself. That said, anecdotally (and may well be wrong on this point), Americans tend to eat out a lot more, and accordingly in more homely restaurants, than British people, so yes in that case keep an eye out and have a salad occasionally.
> You're misreading your sources. They say 300,000 - 500,000 jobs per year.

It seems that this sources is not consistent, so I'll disregard it. Thanks for pointing out this obvious incongruity, I should have noticed that myself.

> The primary cause of the slowdown in wage growth is the slowdown in productivity growth

> And Europe, due to higher income redistribution through social programs and more labor regulations,

> The slowdown is most likely due to obviously harmful economic policy,

Again and again you make the same assumptions without having any evidence supporting these claims. If we compare the growth curves of the US and Europe, the growth rates look very much the same, despite having very different labor laws and union strengths [1].

That seems to suggest that labor laws indeed don't have too much of an impact.

> It doesn't change the fact that their effective tax rate is much higher than a typical janitor's.

Buffet and his millionaire friends have already explained how they and their friends are cheating. Buffet hat a lower effective tax rate than his secretary. Has had for years.

> As for the physical limits of growth: we are nowhere near them.

The practical limits of growth will kick in much earlier than the physical limits. Ever diminishing returns will necessarily reduce growth; when there's not even a path, a street will greatly improve productivity. Once you have a road, a better road will only do so much. You can see that kind of growth slowdown in any developed economy. The Asian tigers are following the same curve as the US and Europe; continuously accelerated growth is impossible.

> US nomimal GDP has doubled

So what is is now? GDP has doubled, despite the oppressive socialist union laws? I'm certain you realize that something doesn't quite add up with your argument, right?

Meanwhile minimal wage has not been increased for 14 years.

Cheesecake factory is probably maxed out in terms of expansion. They are only found in the one or two sides of a city that has residents with higher incomes, in or near the mall with the Apple Store and Nordstroms.

Their market cap has not gone anywhere in 10+ years and they earn meager profit margins, so I assume people whose job it is to analyze the businesses have mostly predicted there is not much room for expansion.

Forecasting Mistakes: Dow Jones Barrier
It’s not Microsoft’s fault that people are generally required to buy a book in order to read it. You could say the same thing about any business with a high capital cost required to get up and running. Want to start a supermarket? That’s many $Millions to plan, buy/rent land, build the facility, stock the shelves, etc. Starting any business costs money, and some cost a lot of money. Suppliers of the materials or feedstock required to start them aren’t to blame. If I want to fine tune a LLM to be an expert on the Dune book series, should I be allowed to download a copy without paying, or should I have to pay $8 for a copy before I feed it to the model? I’m sure the publisher would want me to pay some ridiculous amount but that is a different argument than requiring the purchase of a single copy that anyone would have to do to get access to the content.
I'm curious though - how many of those applications were for recently posted positions? I ask because I assume that the older a job posting, the more likely its position has been filled but the posting hasn't been taken down.

If you apply to 1000 positions, but 700 are from those "zombie" job postings, then you've really only applied to 300 positions.
We know that something is going to break anyway because the world changes and it's impossible to cope with future unknown changes. So it's worth having some robustness but too much of it is not robustness anymore, it's money spent on wishful thinking.

That's why the LLaMA 2 release is so significant. You can run the full 70B in 8-bit on two prosumer A6000 Ampere (cost around $10k together) which is within the reach of most companies and some devs. This could further accelerate all research to make it both efficient and available even to regular folks.
I was laid off in December, a week after a rallying speech from the CEO declaring all jobs were safe.

I was surprised at how difficult it was to get an interview as I have a somewhat unique skillset. But understandable if 50-150 are applying.

It took seven months before I found something, by which point I had to bullshit about the gap in employment (left to spin up my consultancy!).

Agree with some of the comments here. Find a good recruiter who is a straight shooter, they will be able to get you an interview or tell you what you're missing.

I will say as someone who's been involved in the hiring side, the 100s of applicants number is true but also misleading. Especially if you take public applications on linked in or someone. You'll get a lot of people who are unqualified, and I don't mean stuff like "3 years of experience and the req said 5" or "Only worked in scala but we're hiring for python devs", but rather "This person is a cashier and has not indicated anywhere they would have gotten development experience", or "This person is a fresh graduate applying for a team lead role".

Then if there are still too many to interview after that first filter there's the easy ways to cut down numbers further like "This person has no visa and has not started any visa process to work in our jurisdiction" or "this person's entire career is in a single tech stack that is not our tech stack while there's other candidates with our tech stack or a track record of adopting new ones". Could these people work out? Possibly. But it's an overhead that when there's extra candidates, they need something to stick out to make it onto the shortlist. If there's others that have all the same pros and an already valid visa/citizenship or the right tech stack, they'll get on the shortlist first.

After those two processes, the number of applicants per role are not that crazy.

Full stack back in '00 was typically LAMP. Linux, Apache (httpd), MySQL, and Perl, Python, or Php.

As a full stack developer, you were expected to be able to do system administration for Linux, setup and configure Apache httpd server, work with MySQL (create tables, know SQL), and work in a language that typically started with 'P'. The way that CGIs (and Php) worked implied that you did front end and backend work as necessary... though front end didn't have the same degree of complexity that it does now.

This covers just the most basic things that can be looked up in the manual (IDK if it's ChatGPT output or not, doesn't matter).

It doesn't answer

* why you need multiprocessing (rather than threads)

* what are costs and benefits of them

* how to process a sequence of tasks maintaining results in order

* ...or without maintaining the order

* how to handle exceptions in the processes

* how to gracefully exit by Ctrl+C or other exceptions in the main process

* how to minimize data transmission between processes, because it's costy

etc. None of this is covered.

> I'm curious about what issues you experience?

I especially like it when I switch chats and start typing too early and it either drops the first few words I enter, or they get put in reverse order.
I think you have found the issue to be honest, I think most people are expecting to be "senior" in place of "not junior" as soon as they prove they are good programmers. The senior title has been quite diluted by that.

Seniority is about experience and not skill in my opinion, we see many talented developers who don't qualify as senior because they simply haven't experienced enough situations. I expect a senior to have some war stories and a breadth of notable situations that they can walk me through, to demonstrate their ability to predict common issues and pitfalls, and to show how their experience helps their troubleshooting and informs their choices.

If I had told 20 year old me this, 20 year old me would have balked. 20 year old me was an excellent programmer, but he didn't know shit about long term software development.
In most fields this is extremely rare. In tech it's relatively common.

The difference is the kind of environment you're working in (E.g. high growth tech company vs non-tech company) and the learning rate in that environment, which is where the modality comes into play.
I watched a travel show about Sicily and it mentioned how the residents rented and worked in fields owned by absentee land owners. People were fed up paying rent with no hope of owning the land owned by someone who didn't even live on the island.

Here in Canada one of the reasons my island province is a province of Canada is because it joined Canada for exactly the same reasons Sicily had with absentee landowners. We're the Sicily of Canada I guess.
Interesting, could you expand on your view about the range of politics afforded by technologies? Specifically, your mention of DRM was intriguing. While I personally dislike DRM applied to consumer devices and content, I think there are applications of digital rights that are less objectionable, like ensuring the integrity of medical device firmware deployed in a hospital.

> I wonder if the language influences the aesthetics.

The community does. You’ll notice that JavaScript command line tools are much fancier than other languages, with emojis and cool spinners. Being that many JS programmers are web developers there’s a sense of aesthetics baked in the community. Other communities don’t have to care about “pretty” in their day-to-day so their tools reflect it.
Best of luck to them, I know they've been trying to push a "for teams" product for years but I've never heard of anyone who has even expressed interest in it. Atlassian will be a tough nut to crack. Job board seems like a much better idea, but I'm not the CEO or investors so what do I know?

You won't get qualified devs for much less than 60k around here. Especially since that is the amount of money people expect on their payslips before taxes.

On top of that employers have to pay additional stuff, that won't even make it on the payslip, like parts of the health insurance which are not considered to be parts of the compensation.

Quick Example from Austria:

* Cost to Employer 77k€

* Employee's Taxable Income: 60k€

* Income After Taxes: 40k€

Probably just selection bias. Ruby is way more niche than Python so Ruby programmers are less likely to be complete beginners.
