Jensen Huang just resigned as NVIDIA CEO.
We want to beat China in the AI race, but we stopped hiring juniors years ago.
In a few years we won’t have anyone left to run it. Chips aren’t enough.

TFW you H1-B too far to the sun
Need one greybeard per team to keep the lights on
Microsoft doesn’t use this kind of wording unless it’s really really bad. Like, SHTF kinda bad.
“Aggressively pursuing all pathways…we’ve paused all new deployments.”
That’s a panic button I’ve never seen them hit before.
“The elevated load isn’t driven by an increase in traffic, but by a number of servers being UNEXPECTEDLY UNAVAILABLE.”
IE: Server farms. Racks and racks of servers. NOT RESPONDING. At all. Failing health checks.
Whew doggie!
I want regional blockers at the ISP level lmao this needs to be internet wide
Please @elonmusk we are all BEGGING for regional blocking features. These African/Indian engagement slop accounts are dramatically reducing the quality of the user experience here on the platform.

They used to divide us by race, but then minorities started showing up on the white side
So they tried dividing us by gender, but then trans started showing up on the women's side
Now they don't know what to do

It’s also great internal/external propaganda
We need to see more of this
Bukele is fascinating because he has understood better than most that in the modern era small states are well positioned to operate as a kind of PMC: offering a fully integrated carceral stack that can be distributed as a platform to neighboring states with weaker state capacity

>get into prestigious company
>it's the same BS problems as every other company
People don't know how to hire it's fucking insane
'Here's a take home project'
If they're having you send the CODE and not the AGENT TRACES they're retarded
Most hiring managers don't even know agent traces are a thing
Case in point

It’s always funny reading early post-9/11 slop about Dostum
The hypocrisy is astounding
‘there was this guy, named Dostum, he was terrible! He did war crimes!!!’

After judging a Hackathon I have some clarity
Most of the new grads are in tech for the money and have no hustle
All the cracked juniors are employed or run their own biz
My generation ironically did not know there was money here lmao
The lack of juniors is going to be a problem. But I struggle with the fact that most of the juniors I’ve met in the last two years have been woefully unprepared for the industry.
It’s not just that we’re failing to educate them properly. (We’re absolutely are.) It’s that they don’t have any real interest in the craft. You try to talk to them about their personal projects and they tend not to actually have any.
Not that they don’t have some example app or some schoolwork checked into GitHub. They definitely have that.
I mean that they haven’t tried playing with the computer and see where they could push it.
In my day, we made video games. Or operating systems. Or tried to figure out a clever way to render a GUI faster. Or try to deliver apps like HTML pages but as serialized Java Swing components. Or make in-memory objects automatically persist to the database. (I came to regret that one. 😅)
I don’t see anything like that from this generation. They’re not coming up with a clever way to make an LLM Rickroll (or 6-7?) someone. They’re not experimenting with compiling a native app to WASM. They’re not making a video game. (Always a classic!)
They’re not, really, doing anything of interest. They just… want a job.
And that’s kind of a problem. Because I want to hire them and teach them. But I keep finding that they quietly push everything off onto ChatGPT and fail to learn. They think they’re succeeding when they’re actually failing miserably.
Is anyone else noticing this pattern?
