Увы, в июне индекс активности IT-найма никаких особо хороших новостей не показывает. Число нанимающих компаний для роли Manual QA после роста в 2024 году и стабилизации в 2025 году падает уже 7-й месяц подряд. Для Automation и Senior QA продолжается постоянное небольшое снижение. Единственный рост, пусть и небольшой — у AI QA и ML Evaluation, но там рынок еще не сформирован. Читать далее Read more ›

Но это относительный параметр (1000 открытых вакансий для конкретной IT-роли – это много или мало?),. Read more ›

BrianFagioli writes: Google CEO Sundar Pichai delivered Stanford University's 2026 commencement address, but despite leading one of the companies at the center of the AI boom, he spent very little time discussing artificial intelligence. Instead, the speech focused on optimism, working on hard things, and following your interests. The omission is notable given how many graduates are entering a job market being reshaped by AI.

Longtime Slashdot reader necro81 writes: The heavily promoted, $499 T1 "Trump Phone" was originally said to be "Made in the USA" and ship in September 2025. Later, that was downgraded to "Assembled in the USA."
