Webpack Is Becoming Unmanageable - Switch to Vite?
everybody says if you hate class names write it like @apply in scss/css file. BRO. YOU ARE ALREADY IN SCSS FILE. JUST WRITE SCSS
Just getting a fucking react native project to run is impossible. Always some fucking dependency preventing the build.
thank it was useful 💪
A close friend works in HR at a medium size Tech company. He said even when they post openings, they already know who they want. They are just covering themselves legally. He said they send recruiters to top colleges . They want fresh grads. They don’t even want you in your late 20’s. I’m not in tech, not smart enough, lol. Good luck to everyone. Hope things change
Nobody wants fresh grads lol…. Everyone wants 10y plus experience seniors… what is use of fresh grad? 😅
I'm not on the market, but I used to have recruiters hounding me all the time. Not anymore - and it's got me feeling less secure about being able to hop between companies. I have a pretty strong background now, but networking was never my strong suit.
Government needs to put a pause on tech worker visas
This is the main issue. Immigration and not investing in local people
sounds obvious but you really have to keep your skill set tuned to the market. sales is always chicken or feathers. in a sw dev role these days devops is very marketable. i kept my skills up to date over the years and learned voice and data networking, virtualization, storage, devops, etc. knowing how to set up and run a CI/CD pipeline, maintain build automation, understanding containerization and its associated orchestration, etc will keep you employed these days. i just retired after 42 years in "tech" of all types and never had a problem finding a job even when getting laid off during the great recession and in the middle of covid. some of those jobs did suck though but they paid the bills.
Lotto ticket.
look into the federal tax changes on depreciating research and how it relates to programming….
Real ones will always make it.
So tech is dead. What’s next guys?
Time to go Amish
I would start claiming you are person of minority
Laid off from IBM fro about 1,5 years still can’t find job… applied to millions 😂
I can't speak for juniors just starting out but being in the field for around 10 yrs I have decided to be more proactive about applying for a job. My advice is to take control of your fate as much as you can. For example, don't just send your resume out to any ol job you see. Go out of your way to research and find the places you want to work for. Find the places that really excite you. Then tailor your resume and/or cover Letter and apply directly. Find ways to get their attention. If you get the interview put together great interview questions for them. Find out who you are gonna be working for. You spend a significant chunk of your life in your career. Make sure you KNOW who you are working for. Another example is remote work opened up a plethora of options, which at face value looks like a gold mine. But it's way too overwhelming and unrealistic to me. I'd rather limit my search within a certain radius of where I live. #1 because less options is better. #2 I like to maintain a sense of community by helping businesses in my area. I like remote, but my rule of thumb is if I can't drive there every once in a while, unless I relocate, it's too far away to be working at. Then I research companies, cities and salaries within this radius to find out where the higher paying jobs are to narrow it down even further. I like the subtractive intentional approach.
When I first started getting interested in web dev jobs 2016-17 the market was wide open and roles were specific, frontend, backend, db, devops. I was on the grind for many years, delivering food while studying, pizza man, the whole 9 yards.The end of 2022 I landed my first job as a web dev. It took years of commitment, and rejection. I’m coming up to 2 years working there. I would say the main difference nowadays is that there is no separation of frontend and backend roles. You are expected to figure out how to do everything now. The term fullstack used to be a joke but now it’s the opposite. Salaries have dipped quite a bit too. It’s not common for devs to get a 70k 80k average salary unlike 2019 110k+.
Im currently in a role and i do everything, front back devops architecture product management design, yeah its crazy but it is what it is.
Had to apply for 3000 jobs after I finally landed one and that one's luck. Everything was completely out of my control.
It's been almost 3 years of "continuous learning" and still without landing a job. I'm hopeless.
@n-0-1 you're a fo-ol bro, whats the lmao for?
My take is this. AI is not the biggest issue here. Having coded with ChatGPT since it came out and other AI tools increase in productivity is honestly around 15-20% tops and it has not improved much since its release. What truly happened was after mass exodus in Twitter, it is still very much here. As Elon said it turns out you don’t need that many people to run it. Other companies and more specifically their investors realized the same and decided to cut unreasonable high number of engineers they never needed to begin with. They were massively hiring before because of fear of losing engineers as job hopping was very prevalent in this industry. Add outsourcing to that and that’s your nail in the coffin. It will be tough unless startups start booming again.
Back in 2020-2021 there was this trend of "day in my life at x tech company" videos, those videos were the epitome of this and marked the top in terms of hiring.
I'm a junior frontend/fullstack, I started working last year in June until they let me go in December (because there ended up 4 frontenders on the same team). It was a great experience while it lasted, but in October I got the worst hand forearm cramp ever and my hand is recovering now but it's still limp. I'm still very young, few years in my 20s left but damn it's giving me like an RSI experience for the last 10 months, and I expected yeah this thing is going to have to take ? 1 or 2 years to recover (limp hand), I truly flexed my forearm way too hard and lost and am in a healing process with my hand. But it feels better now it's just a bit more tedious/fatiguing (hand) if I am going to start working full time again
I gave up trying to get a programming job a few years ago but then my company switched me to one construction site that was so brutal it motivated me create a mobile app and somehow at that time a recruiter talked to me on LinkedIn and Ive been working at a government contractor in the DC area for 3 years. For the guy unemployed for 18 months, why not just do some other job in the meantime?
From my life experience, every time I hoped that something bad would eventually get better, it actually went worse. I'm lucky that I have a job, but I'm not sure how long it will last until my boss finds out that the tasks I estimate to take one week (and he is happy with it), I actually do in 2 hours with Claude.
you guys built your own downfall I am a hillbilly I don't have to worry about A.I taking my job or running my life. wishing you guys the best
This is awesome.. I’m a hill billy as well that went into tech from the sawmill industry. Tech is the way it is at the meta level because of large corporations and the culture that allowed it to get that way. Much of big tech is comprised of eastern mindsets so their struggles don’t get my sympathy and sadly many people like us and other Americans simply not getting into the sciences. With that being said, it’s actually the greatest time to be in technology if you can start your own business and land a few gigs but that all comes down to knowing people and having a social life. As a good ole boy I’ve built small apps for plenty of small real estate, dirt work businesses, machine shops etc. but because most US nerds are just PC gamers that dungeon dwell they have nothing else going for them and to your point it’s their fault. In conclusion, I think this shake up is exactly what the industry and culture needed 10 years ago. Stay out of tech from a fellow TN hill Billy <3
Tech is tricky. I’m in cybersec, and do pretty well. But what separates me from devs is I’m a senior specialist, and I have a bunch of experience and world-renowned certs. Developers are in a tougher spot.
Cybersec is less competitive , but more challenging
Just a noob here. Self taught for 2 years in november. I I just ended a 5 month internship a couple weeks ago (feel lucky to have even gotten that). Its a small company and they told me I performed well, and will hire me if they can, but they are restructuring the company right now. But they will let me know soon, told me to hold on to the work computer for the time being. If I actually get an offer, would be the biggest hole in one of all time. If I dont, well, I dunno, Im hoping that having a 5 month internship might help me fund a junior position somewhere, or at least perhaps another internship. If all else fails, I will resume my old life of being a ditch digger.
Do other devs actually find AI helpful? I feel like I’m living in an alternative universe.
I still can't figure out what AI does that a computer from 2011 can't do short of maybe some of the "generative AI" that creates pictures of people with six fingers. Chat bots are nothing new. Nothing of real value like a far superior weather forecast has been a result of the AI craze thus far.
Its nice for helping you read docs. lol
It's good for grunt work, I had a bunch of HTML I needed to transform into a Dash template recently and it did a stellar job with it, I also regularly use it to create IAM policies for AWS

Now it's back up again. Just peaks and troughs. Like everything in life.
Look into Agenda 2030
I am so glad someone said it, Many articles were saying "Don't worry about AI, it will only make your job easier, AI wont eliminate jobs" but as you said, one thing usually leads to the other
It's disrupting the industry for sure.
Its more so the over hiring during covid and the market being down in general. I have friends in fang and i work in the biotech sector and no developers i know are actually using AI outside of sometimes a google search alternative. AI is just the scape goat.

Nice to see you 😊
You too!
Chat GPT is definitely supplemental at the least. I like its ability to extrapolate information, so that I have a high-level understanding of any particular concept. At that point, I ask it to provide details to get a more thorough understanding. It's basically a feedback loop where I test my own understanding, ask Chat GPT, and improve my understanding with its responses in order to ask it better questions to further improve my understanding.
Totally agree!
And therein lies pay reduction.
its a bloodbath, cant even get a callback for roles i am overqualified for 😂
I can’t even get a job at dennys or bass pro shop it’s CRAZY
I'm sorry to hear that. Things will balance out soon.
@@Juan_deep That sounds similiar to my graduation in 2008. I had a finance degree and was getting turned down for jobs at clothing stores. Scary stuff.
tech jobs - too many manager too less programmers - those new young programmers are useless having no knowledge how to handle older systems
Toxic. New programmers, go leverage "AI" and build(clone) software applications that replace what corporations are doing. Stop wasting time applying because they dont want you as they can manipulate their stock price up without you.
Legacy like Perl can get someone a niche job. That may be the key here.
I live in Eastern Europe, in my java-oriented techstack the number of job postings dropped by 50% in the last 2 years and it's tough to get hired. I still have a job but in case of layoff I am prepared for 12-24 months of unemployment and/or carrer switch.
I wish you the best!
Same experience as you with recruiters. '98-'01, three calls a day. '02+ once a week. Could also be that I got older than 30 at that point.
I love you Shadow. One of my longest time subscribers. Thank you! I wish you and your family the best!
Good to see you Chris. Just getting ready to fly out to DEFCON if you are out there I would love to get a coffee. I do hope the market improves as I am very fortunate being in an amazing tech startup.
I'm not going but would definitely get a coffee with you when you're in DC?
Tech was never supposed to be your usual 9-5 job. It was always imperative to get rich as fast as you can and prepare for the worst. There's a reason why IT is paid highly. It's so normalized nowadays that people often forget this.
I think this gold rush is still getting started. I'm optimistic.
💯
I got let go in 2022. i looked for a job i knew it was hard and started to get worse and im over 40. So i started bussinesd built my app, and i make about $100 a month. Sometimes, i break even after marketing, its very hard to market im targeting $10k but ill be multi millionaire
People used to laugh when I made 25.00 a month on RUclips. Then it increased by 5000% but people still laughed. Fuck the haters.
My job applications started to get much more responses lately. It is for me like the market started to live again. But maybe this is cause I modified my CV to get more scores from ATS.
I'm glad to hear that. What is your background? If you don't mind sharing?
Just learn to do trades bro
Trades got a lot of problems to just to get certified is like 6K-25k
I got into code from the trades.
@@Juan_deep Im being facetious around 10 years ago the media was flippant when truck drivers etc were being laid off and journalists told them “learn to code” now what?
Most of you are web programmers (not real engineers). This is the lowest form of development and therefore is super saturated. Of course none of you can find work as a result. On top of that since the barrier to entry for web dev is so low you have to compete with outsourcing from throngs of 3rd world developers.
At some point web programmer becomes Fullstack Developer with expertise on both frontend and backend side.
Not real engineers sound like a kid got graduated and he is happy with his achievement 😂 if you got enough experience you know web dev or mobile dev requires engineering and architecture to build even a simple website go learn what the word engineer means first
Says the guy who works on some boring shit, no one cares about? :D It is a business after all, there is nothing fancy and spectacular about the code, it's just a tool to generate profits for companies, in the end you are a resource, so take money, do your work and just shut up :D
@@MichalBurzynski89 exactly this. plus, generally speaking, a bit of humility is a sign of intelligence. Whether we do C++ for NASA, or Javascript for the web, it does not make us important people.
I agree with the others, it's all about what you can do. That doesn't differentiate an engineer from a developer. Watch out for Dunning-Kruger.
The tech industry is really bad at the moment. I changed my goal's from focusing on becoming a programmer to something within my industry. So, at the moment I am learning my 3rd spoken language and researching other possibilities by doing so. I still program but now as a hobby, figured. Great video by the way and wish you the best.
I wish you the best in these rough times!
@@realchrishawkes Thank you for the sentiment.
13 months searching and no luck, junior developer jobs are gone
They're gone forever. This is revolution/war time. Ugly as it gets.
Don't give up. I was rejected for three years in a strong market.
@@realchrishawkes that just made me feel worse lol
I'm employed but was looking for a job because my current job is pretty meh. NOPE. Market is pretty bad. My observations: - Salaries are going *down*, even if you compare to like 2019, before COVID/hiring boom ("Great Resignation" era). Sub 6-figs senior roles are not unheard of. At a time of record inflation this is truly disturbing. - Remote jobs are outrageously competitive. Non-remote you'd have a much better chance. If I was laid off, my strategy to get a new job would be something local
Best to sit tight in my opinion.
Bought some ng well royalties, now waiting for interest rates to drop and drilling to recommence. Work on some writing. Maybe work on a SaaS. Travel to Europe to save on spending...US is so overpriced.
I hope that pays off. I live in the DC area. One of the most expensive in the USA.
over 2 years and still can't land a job.... applied to over 1k jobs
Same here but only applied to about 70 jobs
Don't give up.
It's going to take a lot. Keep grinding.
@@realchrishawkes its the worse, everyone just tells me that. Then when I go to interviews they see my gap and they're not impressed and the cycle continues.....
@@TKGZONE I recommend working on a coding project so that you have something to show for your down time. Contribute to an open source project, or create a game, could be anything. If you get deep into the project it will also help you to find a new job, because you will have some insight into the cutting edge of a particular niche. I think you will get better results by being active in a particular niche and applying to the small number of jobs related to it than by applying to tons of less targeted jobs.
the gap in my CV getting pretty big and kinda worried about finding excuses to fill it....
You were freelancing/consulting, of course
@7minutesdead what if they asked more about this though? Do you just continue making it up? 😂
@@Ctrl_Alt_Elite immigrants from india who compete for the same job, don't ask themselves this kind of question. if having 15 years of experience in generative AI is what gets you a foot in the door, well, looks like this is what your resume should say you have.
