The tech talent gap is biting most of the 1,000 technical hiring managers responding to a recent survey. And 40% of job postings have unrealistic requirements?

My fault.
I shouldn't have commented on the zdnet site that I couldn't find anyone with 20 years experience in C#.

But then there will be loads of people with 20 years' experience.
I only want the best, so I'll demand 25.

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.

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

especially for Microsoft since all the other vendors and companies like google amazon and other real opensource people just eat the market

Yeah.
Cocktail-party-level knowledge.
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.

Mine all seem pretty benign -- boring even. A malicious one would be wicked.

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

Hey, man. Someones' got to pay for all the damage from the yellow jackets. Since no one in france actually works, you turn to the Yanks.

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.
