Question, what is the job market like for someone who is good with graphics programming? I'm not the best at math but I have struggled my way through linear algebra enough that with some practice I think I could be good at graphics programming. It'd certainly be a nice change of pace from programming CRUD forms for businesses.

I thought the whole presentation was pretty cool. Those colonies are just visions of what might be built by future generations. He has new ideas about the future of industry and that's exciting. But I have a hard time seeing the scales he's talking about. Those colonies would not be able to hold billions of people. I'm not sure if moving industry off of Earth, especially for environmental reasons, makes a lot of sense. But when people imagine the future as being exactly like the present it's just tiring and stupid. I don't think he was acting like he knew all the answers but he's moving forward.

- candidates have zero penalty for applying to something they know they aren't qualified for
- there's constant noise about getting one of those well paying "tech jobs"
- everyone who has ever logged hello world to the console thinks they are the best programmer in the world
- people are desperate and will lie
- the ratio of unqualified to qualified candidates must be 100 to 1
It must be like dying of thirst in the middle of the ocean. The one thing I love about this, though, is the "senior developer" who hasn't read a book in a decade and has to get a new job. ahahahahaha. The moment when that mountain of BS collapses underneath them must be ga-lorious.
Also though, I get the feeling it's a different job market than it was in 2010. I'm still trying to understand what I think I see.
Languages seem to be able to cover multiple platforms now. Programming I don't think is as technical as it once was. At the same time everything seems to be a mess right now. Everything's broken. There's a million and a half frameworks for everything. ...It's like programming as a field has become much more broad, while simultaneously lowering in quality, with knowledge that was once spent on technical mastery now being traded for either lower wages or domain knowledge. So if you went to school and got a degree in programming that was once pretty impressive but now you're just some dude who can "code".
