Is Silicon Valley finally feeling the burn of affirmative action hiring, or is this a natural turn of events due to the economy? What I find most interesting is that in cases like GitHub and Azure, they haven't frozen ALL hiring, but froze the "generic pipeline" process. It seems like this is doublespeak for only hiring the most qualified/best of the best for now. Am I being too schizo about this?
What does Any Forums think? Have you guys felt the freeze out in the job market?
Man why the fuck is this happening now that I'm gonna go to America for a postgrad in CS?

I'm so glad I majored in something useful. I knew 9 years ago when people started trying to push me into CS that the bubble would pop by the time I could finish school.

These poor suckers don't see it coming. If your job involves reading, writing, typing, drawing, math, or anything involving a computer in any way shape or form it WILL be replaced by AI and you WILL be without a job in the next 10 years.

I got an email from Microsoft saying the position I applied to had been closed due to hiring freezes and that nobody was getting it ;)
Thankfully I had another offer at a better company.

I'm in the same boat user, I'm finishing my undergrad and now I'm hoping my portfolio is good enough to get a job.

food shortages is climate change for republicans ai is climate change for libertarians think about it
this is from 2009, the article makes it sound worse than it actually was, with unemployment only reaching around 1.3% in Silicon Valley at it's worst. Either the recession we are in is much worse than it was in 2008 or there is something else going on.
Jacob King
Silicon Valley was also much smaller then and hadn't been on a two year long, uninterrupted hiring bender
Grayson James
service jobs are the only ones that won't get automated any time soon.

>is this a natural turn of events due to the economy? It's literally just this. We're basically in a recession. Eventually governments will have to admit it.
Zachary Bell
well except for the ones that already have been automated like taking orders at restaurants, delivering food, or cooking simple dishes.
