This is SO true. I’m hiring for a software engineer position right now. We’ve been looking for MONTHS. Recently, we’ve finally managed to fill the first head.

So many applicants just can’t even code. My company is not a place where you learn how to code, it’s a place where you learn all the stuff which you didn’t think you’d have to do as a software engineer.

We still have a qualified applicants shortage.

there’s no fundamental physics limitation that makes this true. in fact, light in a vacuum travels faster than in glass fiber, so the theoretical latency of LEO internet is actually faster compared to fiber over a certain distance
