I'm in tech. This is by far the worst job market I have ever seen. Its a good thing. Epidemic of retards in this industry and they needed to be culled. That said, things are going to get a lot worse.

From my experience, autistic white males still produce at about a rate about 1000x over the 'learn to code' and diversity hire crowd. I am not exaggerating. Startups understand this.

After autists build out the technical side of a startup, things go well and the founders exit. The autists who do all the work get pushed out for being "assholes" because their new bosses are retards who ask them to do retarded things. These companies turn into noncompetitive zombie companies.

The job market sucks right now because the covid boom produced too many of these zombie companies and they are not able to grow revenue. They are full of retards and make bad decisions. As a result, VCs do not have the liquidity to fund new startups because they have too many zombie companies in their portfolios that can only pump from a combination of hype and central banking induced bull markets.

Without VCs funding founders/startups, autistic white males can not lay the groundwork for new zombie companies. Founders need VCs because they can not do the tech work themselves and autists are expensive. Autists need founders because they don't like or want to interface with the business/operations side of the company.

There is no saving these zombie companies. They way over hired retards. A lot of these companies with say 1000 employees only need about 50, however, there isn't 50 competent employees of the 1000 currently employed.

The tech job market will remain bad until either VC funding kicks back up or the 'learn to code' and diversity hire crowd capitulates and moves on. I believe it will be the latter.

The backlash against DEI is only just getting started. I don't think Indians/Asians have much patience for it either. Elon and Twitter felt like the opening salvo of the counter-movement in tech.

My main fear is companies will turn to AI in an attempt to boost their diversity hires. It will fail, but that will lengthen the amount of time a full recovery takes. All the while the work all the competant devs did will be trampled.

not laid off yet, so far 2 years with no raise. the company did multiple layoffs already and not hiring anyone, plus some non-laid off people are leaving. doesn't make sense to quit though as it pays above market average anyway. I would get less pay with probably shittier team/work.

Whenever I'm done with my current job I am retired. Still waging because it's convenient remote work, high end health insurance is nice for the kiddos, and I may as well not have to actually take money out of investments, but I don't really need to anymore.

Not really a concern for job security but it does contribute to weakening the job market further because its a tool that speeds up development in certain ways. Means companies are more likely to put more work on employees rather than hire more or backfill.

Worst part is they end up getting hired because diversity and they literally don't know anything, they don't speak or write in proper English. Most get fired within 3 months but get replaced with the same ones. Also hygiene is very poor and we get corporate e-mail warnings about excessive body odor.

getting paid 4k usd a month (i live in a shithole so for me it's royalty tier) to basically just sit around
you know the meme where people say they put in 2 hours of work coding and do nothing the rest of the day?
I haven't even touched my editor in weeks, some days I don't even get out of bed
it's "comfy" in the most literal sense but it actually rounds around into being completely uncomfy because I'm just basically at constant fear of getting fired, I have no idea why they still keep me around

Stuck in a govt "technical" job out of college which is basically glorified PM work. I don't even do much PM'ing at all...I want to leave and do something more technical but I haven't coded seriously in like 3 years. Planning on going hard studying again after I finish my masters. No point moving now since the IT market is so shit.

Nice rundown.
Here in australia, the learn to code meme is still going strong here within educational institutions. I was once asked by someone studying IT, how to clear up space on their HD.
