Thanks for the perspective. Any predictions on how long before junior roles open up again / what are you seeing at your employer?

I wonder about this too.

In that case, feels like the current trend is unsustainable and should reverse once the intermediates eventually revolt? WDYT? Have both your companies explicitly stated that the f…

The point about stitching together resonates.

Thanks! Appreciate the data points and insight. Do you have a perspective on whether this will exacerbate the shortage of senior engineers in a few years, if way fewer new people e…

Hoping to spark an insightful discussion on the how advances in AI will impact the demand for entry-level software engineers, and the nature of that job. Some prompts to consider: …

I lead a technology training/upskilling company and am trying to do some research on our next 2-3 courses to build, to upskill engineering teams outside Silicon Valley. Those of yo…

Agree with this. In fact, it's already changing in a couple of domains. (1) Teams that build data products often have product managers. (2) Data analytics consulting teams have pro…

Thanks, super helpful!

Which parts of HCI do you think are the most important to include in a curriculum like this?

Thanks for the feedback. The author did include an HCI course in the extra recommended resources, right at the end. The challenge (I think) was that the HCI course on Coursera, at …

Unfortunately, yes. And sadly, that is the case for a few other materials later in the path as well. This is v1 though, and we'll work to make the experience better.

The goal of this Learning Path is to list helpful resources into a curriculum that a motivated beginner can follow to learn the essentials of UX Design. Designers of Hacker News, w…

Two thoughts: 1. People will move back to cities as cities become more attractive (thanks in part to things like the shared economy). There's already some evidence of this trend am…

Interesting to note that (1) The cost of attending college has grown faster than inflation over the past few decades. (2) Yet, it seems that the ROI on college is high (for those y…

Me too. perhaps they didn't prepare for the traffic spurt from HN?
