IT Workers Are Now Struggling to Find Work, as 'Picky' Companies Demand AI Skills

"Battered by years of mass layoffs, California tech workers were hoping the job market would rebound this year," reports the Los Angeles Times. "But things are getting worse."


The class divide is widening in Silicon Valley as a tiny group of employees is landing unprecedented packages for AI skills, while many others struggle to find work.

350 тысяч за вакансию: сколько на самом деле стоит нанять человека в 2026 году

Пару недель назад мне прислал табличку наш финдир. Мы иногда обмениваемся такими вещами, потому что оба любим смотреть на собственную работу через цифры. Табличка была простая: список закрытых за 2025 год вакансий, срок закрытия каждой, зарплата принятого кандидата и рассчитанная «полная стоимость найма». По правой границе — жирная итоговая цифра. Я на эту цифру посмотрела, помолчала и села писать эту статью.Дело в том, что «стоимость найма» — понятие, которое компании... Read more

Почему ChatGPT называет одни бренды и молчит про другие: как машина знает компании

Я изучаю AEO/GEO (продвижение брендов в ответах нейросетей) и наткнулся на разбор про странную вещь: нейросети называют одни бренды и будто не замечают другие, причём качество продукта тут ни при чём (SearchAtlas). Объясняют это через понятие сущности: и поиск, и нейросети воспринимают бренд как отдельный объект знания со своими свойствами и связями.Тема показалась любопытной, и я полез в первоисточники: доки Google, schema.org, Wikidata, замеры Ahrefs и Frase, пару работ с...

The population of people who use social media without posting is much larger than most active posters realise. The Pew Research Center’s 2019 study “Sizing Up Twitter Users,” based on a nationally representative sample of U.S. adult Twitter users, found that the median user posts just twice a month, while the most prolific 10 percent ...
