@nprofile1q... software engineering jobs hit a zenith a while back I think; even if they suddenly decide they need us again the sort of conditions you’re expected to work in in a lot of those jobs is pretty unattractive now. It’s all about velocity and crapping out the next thing as fast as possible just for the sake of it. Even Apple, supposedly the people who care about usability and design, signed up to a pointless yearly refresh even if no-one wants it.
