     @nixCraft vpn is generally useless but for people who live in mainland china, vpn is hardly a scam.

     @nixCraft I don't know in the US, but in Brazil there's a trend that people will do a 6 months bootcamp and become a fullstack developer with high sallaries, lots of people are falling for that.

     On my last job as a Tech Lead I used to do interviews when we had positions for our backend, and I had to deal with lots of people that didn't even knew how to do a simple iterator thinking that they would land a job x.x

     @nixCraft That it will make life easier.

     At this point, I feel like all of big corporate tech is just manufactured demand. Very little of it solves real issues, and when it does it makes it so inconvenient and trashy it's basically no easier than not having it. In many cases the widespread adoption of new tech is either neutral or net negative for average quality of life.
