@bonifartius@qoto.org @a7@annihilation.social @sun@shitposter.world this person was doing a phd in mech e, so it was like python and ML for controls, but then she said she was rejected from a controls job because she didn't have enough experience in C++. like hire a programmer like me to do the C++ stuff then, the controls part is the harder part. i don't get this current job market, I feel like people are just making excuses not to hire and all the current offers on the market are known to be bad ("yeah it's in office every day because the boss is kind of an asshole and he needs to manage everyone irl every day. anyways, we can't find any more devs in the area", true story)
