one of the oddities i've experienced when talking code with non python devs is them talking about functions, and me having to restructure things slightly in my head because in python there's mostly 'names', similar to function, but there's no functions I know of.

my new (recycled?) working theory is that the reason there are so many terrible coding resources is because the demand for good coders is so high people just try to throw spaghetti at the wall to solve the problem.

A more simple solution to me seems to hire people sooner, for less money.

If failing at this - I'd imagine you're in the wrong place, or not making enough offers. #code

No, but if you find one that you do I'd love to hear it!

so your question is something along the lines of "what will people/bots claim to do on nostr, and how many of them will?"

from getting shutdown*

what's to keep it from not getting shut down tomorrow?

the socialsphere has too much talk about austrian econ and not enough about technology

You're not offering - so what's the point of the post?

any reason you don't just use a computer not connected to the web?

I want to find an event that was popular like 36 or so hours ago, but I'm not sure how. Ideas?

The technology labor market right now is inverted? When in historical economics have we needed a great deal more

'senior' people than 'junior' people. It's not the same as having an 'unskilled' labor market. It's having a 'less skilled'

labor market. I'd love to understand why instead of hiring a 'senior engineer' at $120,000+ or whatever people don't hire

2 'junior engineers' at like $20,000 each. I bet those 2 junior engineers would more than make up for the 'senior engineer'.

This isn't to denigrate 10x philosophy. This is to say that these technology companies actually DON'T need human capital,

or their managers don't have (or haven't shifted) their perspective such that they could simply apply '2 heads are better

than 1' philosophy.

Am I missing the mark? Or are companies mostly run right now by faux elitists who use the 'I don't have time to train'

philosophy to ignore emerging talent. It seems like there's great waste right now and I'm looking for ways to transform it to productivity.

the following is by no means a curated list. it's simply one i'm forming for other purposes. I can send more.

what does a cyber security enthusiast do to engage their enthusiasm?

Last generations "not going to college" will be something akin to this generations not learning to write code. (or something).

Using a computer many days (all days, a lot of times per day) without learning to speak it's language is just odd.

People who use drills get some idea of basic physics, if you're going to use a computer you should get some idea of basic coding.

You coding again? Whatcha working on?

I'm tempted to disagree, but I'm also fairly out of my depth.

Putting the idea of a company aside for a second though...the path to learning the skills could be made more accessible, or do you think not?

Going on the assumption that one wants to improve things (and that paying too much attention to tsmc, or intel is a waste of time).

It's still pretty unclear what any sort of grass roots approach could/would be.

I think we can do better than....what? "Start with getting an electrical engineering degree".

The timing of this is an interesting topic. TLDR: 3d printing may be 10/100x more accessible than it was - it's still incredibly inaccessible.

It does seem common for engineer types to get head of themselves after conflating upper middle class nerds who live in the suburbs/exurbs with 'everyone'. The most common old trope being that things they think are straight forward - to normies - are hopping on one foot, hoolahooping, on a unicycle, balancing a bike on your face.

There's a great deal of technical know how to be able to 3d print...aside from the cost of the printers (which is significant, and there's no clear 'leaders' (from a non-printer perspective).

The barriers to entry are much more than people realize. #6 perhaps seems the most relevant to your comment.

1. Cost of printer.

2. Will I have a steady supply of plastics

3. Will the company I buy from be in business in 5 years (etc), and even if they are, will it just be some nerds that are too busy to help with customer service because "like....they should just check the documentation".

4. Do you have the time to learn some CAD software.

5. Is there a cad software that's good that's open source or reasonably priced that will allow me to design the thing that I want to use it for.

6. Is there a SINGLE place (2? 3?) that I can go to when I want to print something to click a button and have the print come out (like a laser printer, that prints with ink)

I've wanted a 3d printer for at least a few years, but it still doesn't make sense to me, and those who use them are notoriously difficult to 'hobby' with.

That seems incredibly unlikely. Do you see any other paths?

Roughly - it seems a combination of having the right city infrastructure (and style), in combination with a labor force that can and will do the work.

This is my working theory after some light research on Tapei/TSMC.

If I remember correctly - TSMC was going to manufacture here but didn't see the workforce for it. I'd imagine there are other factors in play, but that one did seem pretty real to me.
