      Have to watch the "who wants to be hired?" velocity. Also maybe now we need a "who needs to but doesnt want to be hired?"

      X/Twitter is a better place to find interesting tech jobs now as more people are on there for better or for worse.

      Software is over.

      But for real. I just one-shotted Photoshop. The whole thing.

      My construction contractor neighbor created an elder care app and has users. No experience in software.

      Our career is worthless soon.

        Image processing has been figured out for a long time ago. It&#x27;s already in the training data.
