Just heard an interesting podcast featuring Will Larson (lethain). He suggested that tech salaries will go down just like previous generations well paid jobs did.
This is what I got from the transcript:
"One of my controversial views is that I think the highly compensated engineer and engineering leadership world is not necessarily permanent. Our profession is pretty new, and there are a lot of factors that will make it smaller and potentially not as highly compensated as it is today. Doctors and lawyers, for example, are not compensated as well as they were 30 years ago. There are forces that have made these jobs less lucrative and less rewarding in some ways. Technology has had a lot to do with that.
We should all be thoughtful that this is not necessarily the permanent state of the profession. The profession will keep changing, and that's okay. If you look at low-code tools and AI pieces, it's likely that the generation after the next of companies will be much smaller than they are today. The burden of compliance is also increasing, with different privacy laws, accessibility compliance, and financial compliance. While technology is making it easier to run smaller businesses with fewer people, the burden of operating as an internet business is also getting higher.
It's unclear which of these forces will prevail in the next decade. Innovation may happen mostly at larger companies that can afford to pay the cost of compliance and risk management. The interplay and friction between these two ideas is going to be the most interesting thing for the next decade."
Remix is based on it.
Web architecture style meant to have the UX of an SPA without the pain it brings to developers.
Does it really? Have you tried it? apparently its coming to Next and SvelteKit
Usually, tickets are created when a project is launched as a way to assign tasks.
But what if the team would own the whole project, take care of their own task management, and only create tickets for tasks discovered along the way?
This is what Ryan Singer proposes as part of the Shape Up Method.
The Argument: eCommerce apps don't need the sophistication of Native coded apps. Having a Mobile team coding in Native code just means doing the same things 3 times. It's more efficient to have one team for an SPA and use that for both the web version and mobile app.
C++ is complicated. But Bjarne Stroustrup says - it needs its complexity to work in places like space where you can't send a technician. Languages like Python and Javascript are easier- but don't give you that control.

“The best engineer is the one that can solve a problem without writing a single line of code” - Andreas Wixler, CTO of FINN, speaking on the alphalist CTO podcast #59
Find out how FINN is run as no-code/low-code company with just a bit of API-first hard code. And how even the non-engineers in their company automate everything in no-code
