It is. I'm just glad I got in when I did. Kids coming out of school are now competing with tens of thousands of devs with years of real enterprise experience.
They’ll be cheap easy hires though.
They'd be cheaper, that's true, but it feels like we've reached the point where hiring directors know that kids coming out of computer science programs are largely unprepared for the realities of the field (just like I was, really). The learning curve is immense, and I don't know if companies will be all that interested in actually developing their devs, so to speak.
You a software developer Al?
Aye, at least I spend a lot of time trying to be one!
I guess your state is a 'right to work state?' (Or something like that?)
That's the term, yeah. Load of bollocks, ain't it?
My lad is one, dunno what it like over there but seems to be loads of jobs over here, he's not looking to change atm but gets recruiters chasing him daily.
Best of luck to him! Hopefully the market there stays more stable than it has here. From what I understand, it was our North American branch that took it on the chin hardest today.
compared with some, those prices aren't that excessive.
Been to a bike meet today at Mallory Park, coffee is 50p, only instant but no worse than Costa bilge. In a proper mug too. My bacon and egg cob was £3.50 though.
