The jobs didn’t follow because “big tech” lost what was left of its collective mind and put their heads all the way up each others asses.
Then code for free. Open source is a huge threat to these fuckers that made you bust your asses and then NOT HIRE YOU ANYWAY.
They are hoping you just do something else. I say code something else and take their fucking power away.
A threat? They will be more than happy to take work done for free and use it for their own needs. I guess at least if it’s a copyleft license they can’t just outright steal it.
All the big tech companies are built on open source projects… No idea what the guy you replied to was on about.
Any useful thing you code will be used to feed the beast.
The plan was always to over saturate the market with coders so the big techs could lower their wages.
Yeah no shit. This was the plan all along. Big tech wanted to flood the market with too much talent so they could lower pay for engineers. This was always the plan.
They never gave two shits about women in coding, or inner city coding caml’s. They wanted mass cheap labor.
The cherry on top is right as that labor was coming out they got a double whammy of AI too.
Its true many must be dissapointed, but there are too many people just with no talent in the industry. i’m quite sure the good one still have very good jobs/
If you’re a half-decent developer AND can talk to people there are still lots of jobs. Roles that are pure coding have been shipped to Poland, India, and the Philippines. People forget that coding is only like 40% of a software project

Care to elaborate what Poland is doing on that list? Eastern European devs are qualified but just as pricey as those from the west.
I relocated to Poland, devs are not cheap, but way cheaper than US.
My favorite line was “All high school kids should learn to code.”. What? No they shouldn’t. Maybe a computer literacy course should be required, but there’s no reason for everyone on earth to know how to code.
They should know a little bit about coding. Not to become Devs, but just so they have an understanding of what it is and about how it makes the world work.
Fair. That could be rolled into a computing course and makes sense to me. I
That is what the democrats told people who lost their jobs to closed coal mines and closed manufacturing plants.
Democrats didn’t close the manufacturing plants. Capitalists did.
