    Thank you. Yes, I’m a software engineer by trade in the US and really hope this new year and the new administration (not saying I agree with it) encourages businesses to hire again. Been applying and interviewing since July with no success. Many other devs I talk to that left/loss their jobs last year have shared the same experience.

    Once I get that sorted out, I should be able to get insurance again. It’s just crazy that you need to be working to even attempt to be healthy and get the care needed.

      Trump sided with Musk on H1B issue. These parasites aint never helping working people.

      With that being said, good luck. They can’t replace us all… that fast.

        Yeah I don’t expect any of those sacks of meat and bones to wanna help working people. But it’s crazy the amount of business owners that wanted to wait till the election to hire again. Well, now they better put their money where their mouth is.

        As for H1B, we had the same thing happen with virtual assistants. That trend seemed to die off pretty quick. Hoping the current trends change a bit in our favor.

      Just to point out, many software dev places are trying to replace developers with AI.

      I mean, that’s not going to work out well, what with the high rates at which AI hallucinates. But businesses are going to keep trying until they collapse from all the shitty code that’s been created.
