60% are willing to lie on their resume and claim 15 years of AWS, 20 years of C# and 10 years of Swift if that's what the HR droid entered in the job req. 
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

I think the discussion is about the unreasonable requirements on job postings, such as "5+ years of experience with Asp.Net Core 2.1" (I actually saw that in a job posting last November).

and I think the only reason a much larger share of hiring managers and their HR drones aren't complaining about the problem is that they get an applicant who is willing to tell whatever lies they need to to get past the automated screening checks impossible requirements.

That's always been a problem though...
A few years back, I was trying to find a job through a head hunter, and they tried to get me to pad my resume to better fit a job posting, and I told them I wouldn't do it.

“I think to be a well-informed citizen in the 21st century, you need to know a little bit about this stuff [AI] because you want to be able to participate in the debates. You don’t want to be someone to whom AI is sort of this thing that happens to you. You want to be an active agent in the whole ecosystem,” he said. I guess it's back to the 19th century for me

Yeah.

Need I remind everyone what a little learning is?
Sadly, given the technical directions that ms products have been taking, over recent years, it's exactly the kind of thing I expect to hear from the ms CTO.

Google has been fined €50 million (~$57 million) by French regulators, the first major penalty under a sweeping new European Union privacy law known as GDPR, which took effect last year. On revenue of ~USD120B, that's gotta hurt

As the OSS community has grown in scale and importance, the way we think about working together has to evolve, too. "Bob and the gang have so much fun. Working together, they get the job done"

Didn't the OSS become the CIA?
That would certainly explain why 60% of computer resources are used for data-slurping, these days.

Quote: OSS is an essential and special part of software development.
No, it isn't. It's simply another piece, no more, no less. Like any other piece, individual projects rise or fall based on 1) the passion of the caretaker(s) and 2) whether they solve a problem and do so with reasonable quality. This is no different than from paid-for products.

I’ve been saying for awhile now that we’re getting close to a crisis point in the IT world. The mid-tier IT worker is in imminent danger of being automated out of existence, and just like with the vanished factory jobs of the last 30 years, nobody wants to admit it’s happening until it’s too late.
