    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    We just had one here saying IT hiring was going up this year. As well last year and the year before. I don’t know what tf they are basing that on. One of my former employers (consultants) are firing for the first time ever. And they have hardly any work for the remaining.

    I don't know anyone who would do something like that. Or pretty anything else, for that matter. Anyways, it's time I stop rambling.

    I am married, without children. But nothing has come close to "the good old days". I do have a few friends but we don't talk a lot and almost never do anything together.

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    I haven't applied for a job since my first job 30 years ago (I am a programmer). Things just happened and there was always plenty to do. Now I find myself without a job and the ones that are relevant to me have 100-200 applicants. I also read an article about how 50+ years will often exclude you...

    From a teenager to mid twenties I had so many, many awesome and unforgettable experiences with friends (albeit different friends over time). Like fishing, computer games, movies, just hanging out, all kinds of stuff. But in late twenties it just fizzled out. I'm not sure why, maybe people grew...
