> it should be easy for developers to "jump into" a codebase and suggest changes

You were either VERY selective/lucky with the code bases you had to work on or never worked on complex, old, legacy code bases.

Just consider the single case of having to construct a new request body for another system, without knowing what's needed. It has 50 fields, which are consumed by more than 10 downstream systems that all want a piece of it. Getting any of those fields wrong will lead to a wrong outcome in at least one of those downstream systems. You have no access to the source code of most of those systems, as it is a "principle of least privilege" company working on sensitive secrets related to, e.g. tax fraud detection and tax calculation, which actually doesn't matter as half of the code is cobol or pl/1 anyways, which you can't read. Looking at the git history, you can see no one who worked on the applications you have access to is with the company anymore. You have to find the current owners of all downstream systems, start a dialogue with them, figure out if their QA or yours will test your new request. Your only chance to get an automated e2e test you can trust is if the 60 year old QA lady who is with the company for 40 years now, who only works 20 hours a week because she has bone cancer writes one for you. Any externally perceivable bug or wrong calculation will lead to the minister of finance personally firing you. Yes, that was the second job of my life.

> I wonder what the biggest hindrances are.

Bad code quality, lack of useful and up to date documentation, high code complexity, high organisational complexity.

> Turning the world of developer jobs into a fluid system that adapts instantly to demand and supply.

Ah yes, the good old wet dream of non-technical agile proponents. Agile little cogs that provide perfect forecasting.

I have that quite often as I RDP in from various desktop sizes. You can bring up the Move command with Alt+SPACE then "M" and then use cur cursor keys to move the whole pane. That allows you to bring one of the corners into view so you can then drag it.
My experience is not like that at all and I feel like it's messed up in a weird way. I applied to dozens of companies recently and I never got a positive response, mostly automated rejections (both small-ish and larger companies).

The only companies that I ended up in talks with were companies that contacted me and none of those went anywhere (yet) for different reasons. Some of these companies are really cool though.

I am thinking a lot about whether I might just be much worse than I thought (feel free to look at my "Who wants to be hired?" posts in my post history).

> I wonder what the biggest hindrances are for software development to become this way.

The biggest hindrance are people desperately holding to their positions. Whether aware they'll be unable to find another job, got too easy and cozy in the current role, having mortgage or other debts, or some other circumstances. For them you can as well write code in "new message" window of Outlook.
Pro tip: when you put your laptop on the tray also put some other personal belongings in the same tray (but not ON the laptop) such as shoes, belt, watch etc. This way it would be more difficult for other people to get confused when they pick their own stuff

Second tip: Add some stickers to personalize your laptop
On macOS at least, it's not one change, it's at least four:

- scrollbars overlaying the content, rather than having dedicated space

- scrollbars that auto-hide when not in use

- scrollbars that are initially narrow, then widen when you mouse-over

- removal of the scroll buttons

That's not including the visual design changes, which are arguably important too (e.g. the scroll "thumb" now has a very flat design rather than textured so it looks draggable).

Edit to add: oh yeah, one more I forgot: in classic Mac OS the scroll thumb had a fixed size, now it reflects the size of the viewport. That one is a useful and positive change, though. Not sure where that innovation came from but it wasn't the Mac.

I definitely think there is a market for their services but the silly money approach won't play well in the logistics world where everybody else is running as lean and mean as they can. It's a world that I've had some business in (but years ago), your typical manager/executive in that world is very much feet-on-the-ground and a shaky promise that you are going to be in business a year or two out would already make some class of customers doubt about about whether this is the right time to bet on you.

Ironically, Flexport could do very well as a lean business, but I'm not so sure if it can succeed under competitive pressure if they don't get their house in order quickly.

UK government embarks on bargain bin hunt for AI policy wonk
I used Stadia extensively and it was truly truly a mind boggling experience. People rag on about latency and "how you can't beat physics and the speed of light". But that was simply not the case. Even with a 20mbps down and laptop WiFi, I could instantly jump into triple AAA games and play it. Had lots of fun completing Metro Exodus back then.

Is it a flawless experience? Of course not, it will never match a native PC. But that is not the point at all. The image was a reasonable quality and the latency whilst ever so slightly noticeable, you get used to it after 5 minutes as you get lost in the game. Even played a bit of Destiny 2 and fast paced rhythm games without any issue.

It's not meant to "takeaway muh PC". It's an alternative to those who don't have the horsepower to run these games. Your expectations need to run with this.

I suspect most humans with a billion dollars under their belt would be quite inclined to believe they can succeed where others have failed. After all, most people "fail" to become billionaires like they did.
It's even worse. People are exceptionally good at rationalising whatever it is they want to do and turn them into convenient rules that sound noble and high-minded.

It would be a much less frustrating world if the robber who takes your money would just tell you "hi, I'm taking your money because I can and because I like it" instead of earnestly believing that he deserves it for some complicated reason (pick your example).

When small children fall over, the furthest they usually fall is a couple of feet. It might make them cry, but it won't lea ve them with injuries, like a hot stove will.

> No it isn't. The EU is a dictatorship that like all dictatorships plays pretend and has meaningless votes for people who don't matter. Your attempts to obfuscate this core truth are impressively high effort, but mixing and matching different aspects of different democracies from around the world whilst ignoring all the ways the EU is different doesn't actually yield a winning argument.

Note how you haven't addressed any of my arguments.

> And there it is, revealed in the final sentence. We didn't have to scratch deep to find it this time: the power hungry authoritarianism that motivates EU ideology. And you're in Austria no less. Every other attempt to unify Europe under a single government has led to dystopian disaster, but this time it'll be totally different!

What exactly is authoritarian? You can't just use bad words against arguments you don't like, you have to actually back up your points.

All you have done is make wild claims, which I've refuted, as a result of which you've then called me an authoritarian and the EU a dictatorship without any substance to back it up.

With that logic then the damn Linux kernel got "unexpected" ties to Microsoft.

Like many, I've been on a job hunt for the past year. To streamline this process, I've initiated https://rolematch.me - a platform designed to provide candidates with practical feedback on how to enhance their resumes and align them more closely with specific job advertisements. rolematch.me utilizes the OpenAI API (gpt-4) to perform a semantic analysis of both the resume and job ad, pinpointing skills and requirements, and understanding their semantic implications. It then offers suggestions on how candidates can integrate these skills into their resumes.

Currently, the proof of concept is in its private beta phase (you're welcome to try it out using the invite code konami), and I'm planning to incorporate more features soon.

Please note that neither your resume nor the job description are stored. They are pre-moderated via the OpenAI API (requests to the OpenAI API are not used for further model training but are retained for 30 days for monitoring potential abuse or misuse).

There is so much to unpack in that thread and its references. A lot of he said she said.

For example, one reference being used as evidence that djb is evil complains about being insulted that their employer (also djb's employer, presumed to be on djb's side) suggested seeing a company doctor after being on sick leave for a while. This is 100% standard practice in the Netherlands and the doctor is independent, not from the company themselves, and keeps things confidential. It's how we resolve the conflict where you can't just claim you're sick for unspecified reasons indefinitely and continue to expect money, but the employer isn't entitled to know your medical dossier either. This lets you have medical confidentiality and long-term sick leave where the employer can trust that appropriate action is being taken because they trust the impartial doctor to verify that. This is brought up as part of the conflict between djb, the author, and the university they work for. This isn't the only thing they allude to not knowing about while abuse was alleged to be allowed to happen by djb and others. I believe most of what is written, but at the same time, the problem is clearly being exacerbated by not using coworkers, friends, or even google/ddg to find out what legal system you've moved into. Djb even suggested they should take legal action, and HR offered arbitration, but the person declined both. So now the evidence amounts to their word on a blog and the alleged perpetrators faced zero consequences.

As much as such references serve to convince me of djb=evil, they also convince me there may be more to the story than one side.

Obviously I've just highlighted one thing here, there's a lot more he-said-she-said going on elsewhere in the threads that could give one pause in believing one side verbatim, even if they're likely right in spirit

I can't help but think that anything that is urgent but only a little important is in fact really important, because things that are a little important need to be done, and the urgent thing must be done now.

Urgent and a little important must be done now.

Urgent and unimportant must be dropped and it is a waste of time in endless meetings to even discuss it.

Even setting that aside, your premise doesn’t hold: you can’t “learn from experience” by watching others. The whole point of the phrase is that you have to do it yourself to learn.

Initially, meaning years ago, I saw Flexports strategy as positioning themselves as an acquisition target for a legacy forwarder. We'll see if they can successfully pivot to being a modern, lean logistics conoany able to stand on its own feet or not. Wouod be a shame if not, but then most investors, at least it seems so from the outside, have been investing based on the assumption of Flexport being a "tech" company. If those investors don't go along with a more cobservative, logistics focused path, well, Flexport might be in deep trouble.
In the article they are talking with students who haven't graduated yet, a couple of PMs, and one software engineer who took a three month break between gigs and has been looking for a month.
This isn't theft.

The legitimate owner possesses the device, but it just doesn't work anymore. That's pretty much textbook definition of "broken", and considering it is happening solely because of misbehavior of Apple's software it should be covered under warranty. If you try to report it as "theft" to the police or your insurance, they are rightfully going to laugh at you.

Compare it to a friend borrowing your car. Turns out there is a bug where if you change radio stations 30 times before turning on the ignition, the car permanently destroys its ability to turn on. Your friend accidentally triggers this. Would you consider that "theft" too, or should the manufacturer fix it under warranty?

Both. Neither. It might not be an intention of the management but it surely is a consequence of their outsourcing decisions.

There is a team working for Cisco who does not care for quality who decided it is a good idea to have a baked in password and who do not learn from past mistakes.

The core of the problem is outsourcing your core product to people who are neither competent nor interested in the quality of the product.

Every time I see any company thinking they can push their core responsibility to somebody else who's interests are not aligned, I can confidently say it is going to go downhill and fail at some point.

On the contrary, not having people working on the structure needed to support this kind of effort seems to be more short-sighted.
I wouldn't say orthogonal. Making something inviting, approachable and feel like a safe place to experiment/explore for a novice is a critical and overlooked part of usability. The childlike choices of "bright primary colours" and "no sharp edges" is one way to attempt that.

searching for roles outside of "software developer", e.g. "it analyst", "programmer analyst", etc. or even just keyword searching for basic software like excel and seeing what comes back. there's lots of well paying, boring jobs, provided by organizations that are flush with money need specific tasks done and don't understand how easy it is to do them.

or more accurately, an individual or small team within an organization is flush with money, because organizations are not monoliths. they are out there, desperately trying to hire people, only finding duds.

i can't really speak to the market in the EU, though, only the united states, where my personal experience lies.

Regardless of outsourcing: you have to do at least some inbound QA and some checks on your product's firmware. Especially if you have had that exact bug before. But the paranoid part of me simply wonders whether this is so they can claim plausible deniability and 'accident' rather than malice.
It's not; they are working on a fix.
No, Apple has also been locking down part salvaging for years now. Many parts are now cryptographically linked to a specific device, and swapping them out between devices simply will not work. They are scrapped because for all intents and purposes they are scrap.

Ask HN: State of Running Windows VMs on Apple M1/M2 with Vagrant
Maybe I'm missing something but it seems that running Windows on modern Apple hardware with Vagrant is still an open problem.

The most active Vagrant Windows maintainer is Gusztáv Varga(gusztavvargadr)[1] I opened an issue in gusztavvargadr/packer [2] where I discuss my findings.

Maybe someone has better idea how to approach it.

Also, Microsoft archived their Vagrant provider [3] claiming they do not have resources to maintain it which is quite odd.
