The #Job market in #UK for #programmers over last 9 months in some numbers: 246 jobs processed, >62% ghosted, ~20% CV rejected, >7% interview rejected; that 11% is variety including being ignored after asking for conversation... (needs more detailed pick for count).
In May, June & July I was getting much more rejections immediately, later mostly been ghosted, but the frequency of applications went down since.

#programmers Pro-tip: don't do this
I forgot when i did it, that below the current directory were a bunch of other people's repos I'd checked out for reference
the resulting .gitignore file has 4,842 unique entries and reading through it raises a LOT of questions about wtf people are doing.

These days, every popular #programming language used in #IT is a massive, powerful, PP-OO-FP hybrid, overflowing with complicated, industrial-strength features, most of which are rarely ever used by workaday #programmers. There exists now a desperate need for a compact, simple language that can lift heavy loads in system programming, but is unburdened by useless, pretentious features.
I say, did not Ritchie invent just such a tool-language, over half a century ago?

The #AI hype backlash has begun. This is the start of the end. Undoing AI decisions will be expensive — and hiring real #programmers will cost more than those 'AI architects' ever promised. #aihype #bigtech

I can't fathom why the dependently typed programming language and interactive proof assistant F* isn't as prominent (hyped) as Lean, Idris, Agda, Coq, etc., among the programmers.
F* (#Fstar) is tatics-based proof assistant that additionally employs de Moura's Z3 #SMT solver—yes, the same bloke who created #Lean. Z3, F*, and Lean all came out of Microsoft Research. More importantly to #programmers, F* was created with the express purpose of doing #proof-oriented #verified #programming.

Happy new year to all the #programmers out there. Already had my first datetime bug of the year. Software assumed 1/1 < 12/31 ignoring the year and threw away today’s datapoint on a medical device. This seems apropos
*What's 10X more amped-up than "drinking your own bathwater?" Literally *dissolving* into your own bathwater, maybe? You and your entire profession just melted away like an LSD sugarcube? #programmers
#Cursor CEO #MichaelTruell warns against #vibecoding, where #programmers rely heavily on #AI #withoutunderstanding the underlying #code. While this method may be suitable for simple projects, it can lead to #unstable and #unmaintainable code for #complexprojects. Truell emphasises the importance of #understanding code, even when using AI tools like Cursor. https://fortune.com/2025/12/25/cursor-ceo-michael-truell-vibe-coding-warning-generative-ai-assistant/?eicker.news #tech #media #news
How Rob Pike (yes, that Rob Pike, legendary programmer) got spammed with an #AI ‘act of kindness’. He is, of course, furious…telling everybody involved, including #Claude to F-off. Here’s how it happened; play-by-play.
“…(One thing) AI agents can never have is true agency. Making a decision to reach out to a stranger and take time out of their day needs to remain a uniquely human decision, driven by human judgement. Setting a goal for a bunch of LLMs and letting them loose on Gmail is not a responsible way to apply this technology.”
