Eng manager. This is March or Die scenario. I love building software products, but if I won't be able to do it at any decent company, I'd start my own.

- micro SaaS

- consulting for AI solutions

- robotics or other hardware

I was looking at the graph a few days ago. Doesn't look great https://www.hnhiringtrends.com/

“Internet may be just a passing fad as millions give up on it”

I'd give up in a lot of hard tasks. Production C code, create a new classifier, fix my car, debug this piece of electronic equipment, negotiation with X, gov application.

I don't think soldiers on the state's payroll are going to take much interest in political involvement in an age where they spend hours a day drilling and playing cards. — Petrograd, 1917.

The elites will go full throttle on "bullshit jobs" — after all, if unemployment hits 50%, who’s going to consume their crappy products? Give people a UBI? Hah! So they can start taking an active interest in politics? AIN'T GONNA HAPPEN.

I talk to a few models, they talk to each other. Together we’re AGI. Hybrid, but still.

I do what I call a shallow review. I don't look at every line to find bugs, but I want to understand the intent and see if model doesn't cut corners (of course you want to use 5th carousel element as a profile picture, great UX right?)

no really, search is appalling, web version for mobile is full of bugs

It is low end comparing to mainframes

As a new dad, you don’t need to have the whole roadmap figured out already. Kids don’t need perfect parents - they need parents who are present, loving, safe and consistent.

Love him, be there for him, don’t reject him. You only need to meet around 30% of a child’s emotional needs well enough for them to feel secure and not be traumatized.

And don’t worry, he won’t be homeless just because you didn’t sign him up for pottery class on a Friday evening.

What were the side effects? High blood pressure, feeling like a "zombie", sleep getting worse?

I'd try centanafadine and see a top ADHD specialist. There are a lot of variables: molecule, dose, release profile, melatonin timing.

What is worth checking:

* Comorbid anxiety or trauma symptoms (PTSD)

* Hormone imbalance

Just because your blood work is perfect, it doesn't mean all is good. I have hypomagnesemia - the tests were perfect, yet my body needs way more magnesium to function properly.

"I need an engine mount for 1999 toyota land cruiser j90 for the 1kz-te engine with a manual gearbox. Can you generate me a cad to send to a company in China to 3d print it?"

"Done — I've created a heavy-duty, fully parametric engine mount bracket that fits a typical four-bolt block pattern and a single-stud chassis isolator with an alignment pin, much like what the 1KZ-TE requires."

I dont think it's even close :(

PS. Your entry message should be "Madam, I'm Adam" ;)

any examples? Even HN became too business focus. Very little software engineering.

Once tech became glamorous, it started attracting people with narcissistic traits - much like Hollywood did. Expect to see more antisocial behavior as a result.

I stopped fixing typos as a social signal :)

Yep, jobs as in jobs on HN

I tried to gather some numbers and the situation is not great. 10 years ago there were 10 jobs for a single dev, now is 1:1.

I'd be great to access some data on how many SDE were in top 1000 companies and how many jobs openings there were in the last 15 years.

If I'd want more range, I'd go with an extra battery in a backpack.

This is a show of resolve.

"Uh guys, little heads up: there are some agents of federal law enforcement raiding the premises, so if you see that. That’s what that is."

Have you tried psych eval for ADHD?

Jevons Paradox - there will be more demand for software, but I think devs need to get more entrepreneurial. Teams will be smaller and existing companies may not be able to create enough opportunities.

My new conspiracy theory is that Trump wants Greenland, because most of south and central America will be too hot. There are 800mln people south of Colorado. 30% will emigrate north.

:)

In the last 30 years it was very to common to have a few junior engineers on the team and you could train them as well as give them tasks which made them positive net contributors. This is no longer true for most junior engineers.

The more I read about it the more I think about Asabiyyah

Google won't copy anything unless is super strategic or generates $$$ (100M ARR?).

how about a nighttime ban (10 p.m.–7 a.m.) for users under 18?

I'd be good to see a top news of the months in the past 100 years :)

> addictive platforms

I fully agree. There should be a complete ban on social media and similar addictive platforms for those under 16, and a nighttime ban (10 p.m.–7 a.m.) for users aged 16 to 18.

We basically give cigarettes to children.
