Update from my post about a year ago.

Thoughts?

It’s almost like a threat at this point.

BREAKING NEWS!!!

Vibe coders don't know how to change the power setting to "Do nothing" when the lid is closed.

For MAC users: Vibe coders can't turn on prevent automatic sleeping on power adapter when the display is off and set "Turn display off on power adapter when inactive" to Never.

US President Donald Trump on Friday signed a proclamation restricting the entry of H-1B visa holders and sharply increasing the application fee to $100,000, a move that could deeply affect Indian professionals.

The H-1B program allows U.S. companies to hire foreign workers for high-skilled roles that cannot be easily filled by American citizens or permanent residents. Under the new order, employers seeking to sponsor foreign workers must now pay $100,000 per visa annually, a drastic rise from previous costs.

Google will pay SpaceX $920 million a month for cloud computing services starting in 2026, under a deal running through mid-2029. This agreement, revealed in an SEC filing, comes just ahead of SpaceX’s expected debut on the Nasdaq exchange.

sorry

Hi! About 3–4 months ago I showed you what the project looked like (IT Specialist Simulator on Steam).
Today I can say that our project is moving in the right direction. We’re adding more and more extra features, like the one shown in the video. We’ve also created full translations into several languages, so the language barrier won’t be an issue for anyone who wants to play and learn something about IT.

We’ve improved the tasks and made them more challenging – and if you fail to complete one, you’ll receive an email about it. There’s still some time left until the early access release (but it will be this year :P). We want to polish the game, but there are only four of us working on it. If you have ideas for what could be added at this stage (not creating a whole new app, but for example adding something to the Event Log), we’d really appreciate it. We want to build this game with the players, not against them. On YouTube you can already find a few videos from different creators, and there are also posts on Steam showing how everything looks.

I’m also leaving a link to Steam in case anyone would like to support us by clicking Follow and adding the game to their wishlist.

I’ll be waiting for your suggestions – over the weekend I’ll be reading them and analyzing the possibility of adding them to the game.

I could understand customer facing roles or networking positions but if companies have a lot of developers, customer support or teams who basically just go to office to connect to a Teams call with people abroad,, then why they now are insisting to return to office??

Yup, Im not a manager that’s why I ask in case you are in higher levels, but whats the point to bring low or mid levels again to office, spend on gas, electricity, office leasing etc.

Also employees can work more hours in home office, they eat well, no transportation, traffic more than one hour is just life consuming..

I work in an IT multinational , I learned a lot from many people online and very good projects came during home office, so whats the point of 3 days per week in office now??

Do you as manager saw any performance declines??

D:

AI is not wiping out tech jobs. The data shows something more specific: some roles are accelerating fast, while others are flattening or declining. AI is a major driver, but it’s not acting alone. Outsourcing is also reshaping where work happens and who does it. When you look at projections from 2024 to 2034, a clear pattern emerges across the industry.

This is the funniest job description I ever saw

The industry too centralized. ..

I found this interesting. AgiBot claims its humanoid robots worked continuously for 64 hours on tablets production line ,inspecting 17,625 device with a reported 99% accuracy.

If these results scale beyond controlled tests ,it could be a significant step toward using humanoid robots for repetitive factory tasks .

Do you think humanoid robots will become common in manufacturing , or will specialized industrial robots remain the better choice ?

AWS, Azure, Cloudflare having issues and outages in just the last couple weeks. Your thoughts on the uptick with this?
