@Dan_Jeffries1 Where are you seeing more hiring? Based on what, twitter posts showing an uptick in indeed postings?! Look at the tech jobs employment from the BLS, they are declining not increasing…

The jobs apocalypse is the Population Bomb of our time. Instead we're seeing more hiring in the job most affected by AI: programming. That should have been clear and obvious to anyone with basic economics understanding and good handle on the history of technology but it's sadly lacking today. Fear sells. It drives clicks. It drive engagements. The jobs apocalypse scenario comes from catastrophizing personalities and people who think of life as a zero sum game. It's the same mistake the communist theorists made. They thought jobs and labor were fixed and there's nothing new under the sun. If we take one job that job is lost forever and that person is now useless. Wrong. Instead, what happens is that when something gets faster and cheaper we want more of it. Much more. There is so much software that we could not build before because there weren't enough skilled people and not enough time and it wasn't worth the time or money. Now it is worth it because it is faster and cheaper. Cheaper for SaaS builders, cheaper for individuals, cheaper for enterprises, cheaper for everyone. That's why were are seeing programmer jobs tick upwards. Right now we are not seeing juniors get hired but that is also always the case in a recovery. We just saw mass layoffs because of overhiring during COVID and cheap money printing that made lending essentially free. The unskilled, aka junior workers, are always the last hired. You want skilled verterans who can take on the new technology with experience and take off running not someone you have to train and babysit when you have been stuck in third gear for a few years. Job populists on the hard left like Sanders and many of his mirrors on the populist hard right are the enemies of actual working economies and must be resisted at all costs. They hurt the very people they hope to help by clinging to the past and thinking of life as a zero sum game. This increase in jobs is the reality that will increasingly play out over the next few years if AI keeps getting better, barring some other economic shock that changes the game. It will increasingly play out even when we have "geniuses in a datacenter." It will be a shock to some. Just not the jobs shock they were expecting. Sorry to disappoint but we're not getting UBI any time soon while the robots do all the jobs and you sit on your ass. Seems like we are all going to have to work a bit longer.

This article tries to explain the current software engineering hiring boom in some targeted areas to the Jevons Paradox. "The same pattern repeated with computing. Cheaper transistors didn’t mean fewer transistors. We put computers in everything. Cheaper bandwidth didn’t mean less data consumed. We invented streaming video and TikTok. Now apply this to software development." When AI makes software 10X cheaper to build, companies don't immediately fire people, they just build 10X more software! While the AI writes the basic code, the demand for human engineers to review it and build large systems is higher than ever. "Germany tells the same story from the employer side. The Bitkom 2025 study (855 companies surveyed) found 109,000 unfilled IT positions. Down from 149,000 in 2023, but 79% of companies expect the shortage to worsen. And here’s the Jevons signal: 42% anticipate needing additional IT specialists specifically because of AI adoption." ----- turingcollege .com/blog/will-ai-replace-software-engineers

@9toejoe Good catch! Worked fine when using system preferences, but I forgot to check the overriding system preferences for theme. Thank you!

Whenever I show digital resistance to hardcore lifters for the first time, the response is always the same: “This is a cheat code.”

$CSCO, my Top large cap tech pick for the yr at a PE of 16x vs S&P at 23x, had a beat & raise qtr. I still believe CY25 will be a yr to invest in moving AI data in the enterprise. AI infrastructure orders from webscale customers exceeded their $1B cumulative target one qtr early.

UMICH one year inflation expectations jump to 6.7%. 5-10 year expectations at 4.4%. That one year increase is the highest reading since 1981. Those of you that have been pushing the idea that the tariff regime will not lead to inflation might want to engage in a reality check.

Rules: - You must make your guess BEFORE Nvidia’s earnings are released (normally out at 4:20PM ET) - You only get 1 guess - I’m going to go on Yahoo Finance when the stock market opens on Thursday and whatever the open price it says there will be the price - You have to be exactly correct to the second decimal point - Only the first person to guess the number wins

🚨🇺🇸OAKLAND’S “POTHOLE VIGILANTES” FIX ROADS IN SECRET NIGHT MISSIONS Frustrated by crumbling streets and government inaction, a group of 20-somethings in Oakland is secretly filling potholes at night—no permits, no contracts, just asphalt and determination. “We don’t plan where we go. There are a million potholes—we’ll find one no matter what.” They estimate a fix costs $20 and takes 15 minutes, yet the city has a $100M budget and a 3-year plan. They stay anonymous, calling it bigger than potholes—it’s about fixing the community. Source: @60SecDocs
