          @doggo @mawr And it’s being sold as a good thing.

          „We only hire senior developers” - of course you do!

            @mawr Thinking about pivoting to something else because at this point even though I have 5 years of experience I don't think I will make it into a job.

              @meluzzy I have 20 years of experience and I've given up on tech at this point.

                @mawr

                Yep. There are way, way more unemployed tech people than there are jobs available in big tech companies or big companies with tech departments.

                Laid off folks need a day job for the time being, while forming small companies to replace all the enshittified big tech software with desktop, AI free, alternatives.

                Some of us remember why we *ran* to PCs away from central servers (the cloud). Now you kids get to experience having your data held hostage & forced "downgrades."

                Offer better.

                  @mawr Yeah.. Sadly, I'm not hoping for much better than my IT Support position for quite a while.. Not gonna complain though as I do L2 work which doesn't involve speaking to normal end users very often..I'm thankful for it at this moment..

                    @mawr i imagine the 2020 dip is the pandemic, meteoric rise in 2022 is due to ai shit being actively developed, 2025 falloff is due to collective abandonment as the result of the ai shit. but i could be wrong

                      @mynameistillian @mawr A big factor is also Trump's return to office and the subsequent cratering of, well, everything in the U.S. But AI absolutely plays a major role

                        Rise in 2021 is probablh pandemic over hiring, it doesn't ALWAYS have to be AI 😅
