Jobs market data collected and analysed by recruitment consultancy Robert Walters and analytics firm Vacancysoft found that more than 12,800 new vacancies for tech professionals were posted by companies in 2021, an increase of 105% compared to 2020. "You never get free, everybody wants you"

read the section that
Quote: the combined value of UK tech companies founded since 2000 stands at an estimated £540 billion. A record figure for sure, but one that still pales in comparison to Apple's gigantic $3 trillion market value.
This make me a bit code smell, as Apple investments most likly are included in the 540 billion, which then is also linked to its 3$ global value, but then maybe apple value removed from the 540, its very unclear, and possible miss informed that Apple has no investment in Europe, which they actually have a significant value.

Scammers are trying to steal job seekers' money and personal information through phishing campaigns using fake advertisements posted on recruitment platforms. I knew that job posting for VP at Microsoft was too good to be true

Not enough with recruiters... now we have to deal with scammers too?
M.D.V.
If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

DeepMind has created an AI system named AlphaCode that it says “writes computer programs at a competitive level.” Average Q-programmer, or average A-programmer?
|
|
|
|

Is that why there's been a rise in no-code and javascript programming? To bring down the average and make the AI coder look better?

A sneak-peek inside the algorithm:
writeCodeFor(problemDescription):
question = CodeProject.QA.PostQuestion(problemDescription + " Send teh codez ASAP - iz URGENTS!!!1!")
code = waitfor question.FirstAnswer
while code is not perfect:
question = CodeProject.QA.PostQuestion("Code doesn't work: " + code)
code = waitfor question.FirstAnswer
return code

The International Space Station (ISS) is now in its third decade of expanding the bounds of scientific knowledge, and scientists the world over have high hopes for what it can still accomplish. Were they petting a fluffy cat while revealing their nefarious plans?
Maybe this is why Tom Cruise is going into space!

There's a 2m-wide port on the ISS which must be hit by a torpedo while flying at maximum speed down a channel in the surface?
