Not long enough. The public supports many things that would never happen because the public is dumb, easy to control and they have the memory of a fish. This is why the Elites will get their way no matter what. I am not saying it's right or wrong either. Maybe the Elites know something that the public don't. Public supports for Israel has dwindled to astonishing level because who would support this genocide in their rights minds. Even 10k children died and even more disabled for the rest of their lives. The elites are busy censoring pro Palestine voices on social media. Meanwhile, this is exactly the right time to support Ukraine by supplying them with advanced weapons. If Ukraine has more weapons, then it could be a conclusive victory for Russia. Everyone is silent when it really matters. And that is by design. This is perfect time to act to end Russia. But naaah. The double standards of western Elites are insane when it comes to Russia/Israel conflict. We can only talk. They fool us with the carrot of democracy so that we fight over two parties that are 95% similar except for identity politics that keep the ignorant masses deluded.

It's 2024. You give the screenshot of this website to any AI tool and it will spit out the code for you. And you can go a long way with barely knowing how things work to build small projects. Which is why they don't care too much about small projects and it is seen as a basic skill. Why would you struggle all day to code something that you can get using a prompt anyway. You can't use these to outsource your thinking in professional environments, because if something breaks, and it will, you have to clean up the mess. It is not much of an issue with small projects. You need near professional experience. I have started to contribute to open source software. This is as close to professional experience as you could be. Contribute to a real code base that is actually used by millions of people. Now that is of some value especially since it gives you exposure to people in the industry who can see your work. Sure. Thanks man. Appreciate it a lot.

What do you suggest we do? The world is run by powerful people making deals with other powerful people. This was how it was always. Only they get to say what happens where.

Absolutely. AI will the amplify the output of the current developers that the difference from them and the newbies who do not have a base only widens. It is not worth it to get into Tech from now on. I have been applying to tons of jobs with no hits lately that I had to learn cloud on top of the SWE experience I have. Can you link some details of the IT companies or job portals? The market here is wrecked.

That is an acceptable response, but it comes at cost of scarring your soul.

Most people you take advice from broke into the industry pre-2021. Post 2021 market is a world apart.

1) You need to be given a platform to develop your skills. How can you improve your skills if you are not given a job to do and improve at it. This is the chicken and egg problem. Employers want experience and skills. You can develop skills in a professional environment only anyway. No one who broke into the industry was a know it all and to expect it from freshers or new grads is lunacy. Someone needs to bet on you to deliver results. 2) There are tons of skilled and experienced people in the market anyway. They are even applying to entry level positions as well. How is someone with a bunch of personal projects supposed to compete with experience folks. With the advent of AI anyone can cook up a nice, cute project and there are templates available for many projects. They are not going to cut it anymore. They are a nice add on. 3) Connections >>> Skills. Given that you are not a complete dumbfuck, you can pick up everything at a job and learn it as you go. You can build skill at work rather than having to do it all alone and make yourself attractive to employers. They care about professional work only. Experience >> Connections >> Real(professional) Contributions >> Personal projects. to help in getting a job. I am not saying it all doom and gloom. But that it is going to be an uphill battle. You need to grind extra hard than 5-10 years ago for lesser wages and a higher cost of living. You need to put in everything you have and more and you might have to see some dumb idiot get a job because his father is the friend of the CEO of the company.

Short answer is no. And that's not because of your age. IT is mind numbingly hard to break into these days. I would want my younger cousins or kids to get into tech. The gold rush is over. The best time to get into tech was till 2021. I recently saw a post on LinkedIn hiring for an unpaid internship and they had the audacity to list the requirements for a mid-senior dev. The hiring is broken beyond repair. You need to know absolutely everything and more to be hired and even that won't be enough. You need someone established in the industry to get a job. If you are starting out, 2 years will be necessary to be job ready at the least. So go into it only if you are willing to fight this uphill battle.

Cheapness alone isn't a problem. But he should be a little more considerate. I would rather not eat ice-cream and be cheap but feed her. Taking care of others is a big thing here. Even from my childhood I never anything infront of anyone but my family. If someone comes to my home while I am eating something, either I stop eating altogether or eat only after offering it to them

Scrolling on social media

It's rare to come across a paper of substance and value. Great work. @Cosmin Visan

Try new things. Baby steps mean a lot. Sometimes that is enough. Start Trying.

France has 70% of it's energy from Nuclear has the lowest emissions in Europe and cheapest electricity.

Putin didn't buy them nukes for decoration.

Now it looks like Russia is making actual progress in Ukraine. Russia will eventually win as the support from the west is dwindling. The real winner in any war is, as usual, the US military industrial complex. West got what it wanted at the cost of immense causalities. Ship out the old stockpiles. and destabilize the Russian economy. In the long run, Russia had to lose. So lets us just hope for that. But they don't. Now what?

Merry Christmas everyone.

Moving to unitive level understanding. You can understand how a lock works intuitively without using language. This is the best way to learn without generating too much suffering. Let me try it out at my work.

😂

Nuclear plants being too expensive is also pretty overrated. It's not that expensive. You basically need to invest $10 billion USD for nearly a lifetime of clean energy with minimal operating costs since the fuel itself is cheap as compared to coal or gas. The capital costs is huge. Which is opposed to conventional energy generation, where fuel is Costly with little capitals costs. To put it in context, Netflix in this year alone allocated $7B for making trash movies and series. And you think governments are too poor for setting up a power plant that cost around the same. The intend is lacking. Plain and simple. Apart from the logistical challenges, and R&D almost everything that is used to counter the development of Nuclear energy is crap. Including disposing nuclear waste. All of those could be easily done with modern tech and infrastructure. Not to mention that we can hit a breakthrough in technology at any time that would significantly reduce the costs. But there is no interest and too much fear mongering that they force you to drink paper straws that dissolve in your juice rather than do something of substance. That's the fundamental problem. They lack in substance. That's why it's wise to not take them seriously at all. As long as they don't even talk about serious solutions, they will keep jerking each others off to feel good after convincing themselves that they are doing something. If you think long term, you will invest in infrastructure. If you think short term, you will chase cheap energy and blame China.

Fear mongering against nuclear energy is total bullshit. It is our only hope to net zero by 2050, if we have any chance at all. All these renewable energies is going to cost us a shit ton of money and a ton of waste to manage. People are shit scared by nuclear disasters that happened years ago with ancient technology. Nuclear plants are super safe so as disposal of nuclear waste given that it is a relatively unpopulated area. For a reasonably serious person, it is out only bet to combat climate change. Yes, it is expensive and take decades. But it works. And we do have a few decades in hand comfortably. It is lunacy to waste time on a cheap solution that does not work at all. Future generations will thank us for investing in nuclear energy right now. And who knows, maybe after we put a lot of money into R&D, we might get a breakthrough that brings down the cost significantly. Expensive and works >>> Cheap and does not work.

Bing is just pulling up articles from the internet and it's reasoning is just trash.

Bro what? 😭😭

If you can get till college without having to burn everything, then you are definitely from an upper class setting.

Family wealth is one of the biggest predictors of success. Not talking about not having to make money. But making money itself is easy when your family is already established.

I agree. But many people think that racism can only go on way.
