Maybe depends on whether the national authority (RKN here) allows appeals from either f-droid or you?

> Maybe depends...

Of course, but you'd think F-Droid would let you know in that same email?

Or they have tried and failed, and market is working as intended. I'd argue this is the case since there have been a surge of companies the past 3 years, and barely a handful are remote, and none at large scale.

35-50% is the ballpark when I surveyed amongst friends.

> And how does a Junior in this kind of work gain the skills that transitions them to senior?

Um - by asking AI 90% of the time, and the senior 10% of the time. If anything, the senior can now mentor 10x the number of juniors.

If sick leaves are abused, you better believe actions are taken, including parting ways.

Such as?

Lobby for immigration support from companies, and against any politician/party that espouses any rhetoric (anti-H1B for eg) against legal immigration.

Speaking as an immigrant who is now a US citizen, I don't think this is particularly relevant. As far as immigration support from companies goes, Big Tech already offers it, so the real beef is with the federal government - and a trade or company union is hardly the best venue to have that fight. I would first and foremost want a union that protects my interests as a worker against my employer's encroachment, and it was no different when I wasn't a citizen yet.

Congrats. But the top priority for a non-citizen immigrant would be protection, above employer encroachment. Notice how this played out when twitter fired 85%, and who stayed back.

Unions being political players will have to take a side - and in the current climate this makes unions a non starter, since majority can never align.

When I solve problems, I need text, I need diagrams, I need demos (i.e. screen sharing).

I don’t need faces, unless I’m interrogating somebody.

> I .. I .. I.. I.. I..

In all seriousness: you've outlined what you need. Perhaps you should reflect on what any collaborator needs.

Our team is doing just fine, thanks for taking interest.

I will not convince you, but there are a lot of people like me, who can operate productively without observing faces.

Since they’re not collaborating with you, and are presumably a well paid professional, maybe their collaborators are perfectly happy with how they work?

Why does anyone need to see my face. Work is transactional. Few if any coworkers are actually your friend. We’re getting paid to get a job done.

Because I need to see if how I'm explaining something is hitting. I need to see if you are listening. I need to know you're actually there and not distracted.

It's a job. Not a confessional booth.

I’m going to be nowhere near as productive on the toilet at work as I am on the toilet at home.

To be fair, we're the highest paid profession, and the work isn't that difficult either.

The owners of the companies we work for are making more money than us, off the value we create through our work, simply by through ownership itself. How’s that for compensation vs difficulty?

If you think that’s an easier route, I doubt it’s ever been easier to found a company and own almost all of it.

On this very site is a link at the bottom to apply for substantial funding and help in succeeding at a modest cost of equity. But if it’s easy enough that you don’t even need that help, you can own it all.

If you believe that is the case, it is very simple to use some of that pay to buy a slice of that ownership via your preferred brokerage application.

It’s a wonder that people still work for a living when all you have to do is buy a share of SPY, suddenly elevating you to same level as your boss.

Well, how else are you going to buy the share?

(I don't think further engaging on this would be meaningful, as the reactions are all coming from a place of prejudice to state of the world.)

The state of the world is a human product. It’s something we create. We can choose to resign ourselves to it and rationalize it, or try to change it through conscious collective action. Either way we are participating in creating the world we see around us.

Only if you're talking about US market.

Can you call out any other market where another profession is as highly paid and accessible?

I can tell that in Portugal it is a highly paid as any office worker, meaning bad, with unpaid overtime, and until you make it into manager you're failing.

Also doctors and business owners not only make it much more, there are plenty of under the table payment possibilities.

I also know of offshoring countries where folks working in tourism make more in tips from foreigners that any IT worker can ever dream off.

And it’s still not enough to buy houses close to the offices. So something is wrong

Training would perhaps be at 50K/yr USD in current environment, and it would be not too many taking up in US environments. In developing nations you can get equivalent training talent at 10K USD/yr, and equivalent fully-trained at 50-80k USD/yr en-mass.

(now potentially 20% higher)

Neither? it's quite clear they're suggesting improving assessments. This will lead to upstream learning not being gamed.

So the option is to what, stop handing out homework? That would result in less education time. To clarify, I mean education time, not classroom time.

Continue to assign homework. Tie the homework to in class assessment such that if a student can do well on homework, without AI assistance, they are expected to do well on tests conducted in class, again without AI assistance.

Set homework grades to be a relatively small percentage of the final grade.

With the above framework, a student is incentivized to complete homework. If they cheat themselves and use AI, they'll do badly on the tests and badly in the class overall.

Tell the students about the above rationale. Tell them that they're not to use AI for homework, that you can't stop them from using AI, but that by using AI, all they get is a perfect score on homework and probably a bad overall grade.

I think this is easier said than done. It pretty much sounds like you're suggesting there are pop-quizes. We've seen that style of teaching before. IME it isn't as effective. Though I'm quite suspect that a big part of that is simply coordination with other classes. All it takes is one teacher who thinks their class is the most important and not give enough wiggle room so that there is room for triage and expected life events. Just because there's theoretically enough time does not mean there is enough time. Think of it like lifeboats. Do you want enough lifeboats so that each person has a spot or do you want extra lifeboats so that in case one gets destroyed or in case a person is unable to make it to the other lifeboat that they will still survive? Over optimization ignores the noise inherent to reality.

It is easily done as well. In-class pen and paper assessments are a reality, and execution is well known. No rocket science.

Don't allow assessments to be gamed and everything will follow.

That's the hard part...

Homework has never been shown to improve education. It gets given out because parents demand it.

I'm going to need some serious citation here. Through my personal experience, homework and at home studying were critical to my education. I would not have made it through any of my degrees (B.S., M.S., PhD) by just attending lecture (PhD doesn't even have lectures!), despite this being sufficient for high school and early college. Though, that does not mean this was a good thing as it only means the education was insufficient.

So... citation needed
