• I feel like if I watch this video on mute I might get a whole different message from what your hands and arms are saying! lol I may have to go get my Pink Floyd album and see how it works as a soundtrack for this video.. 😃

• There is a bare metal movement (engineering motive) and a 'no-cloud' movement of sorts (fear of abuse by cloud hosts). I know of developers and not companies per say with that bare metal preference. Those on 'bare metal' are more likely to be interested deploying on VPS and whatnot I believe, based on speaking with these folks. Others are suspicious of major cloud providers, such as Gab. They make sure they have their own 'infrastructure' and don't rely on cloud services that don't transfer 1:1 somewhere else. Some are suspicious of many cloud service providers out of fear they could get booted off for various reasons.

• I've never been a manager but I've been a team lead and had an assistant and have interviewed probably a few dozen people over the years.

  Certifications aren't nearly as valuable as experience, but neither of those things really mean anything on paper. The interview matters a lot more to properly screen, but often times people are still lacking motivation once they get a job. Passion is the quality I looked for more than anything.

  I've held a dozen+ certifications and I think they can be helpful as a baseline though. The way I looked at it was if I was already going to learn a topic, I may as well take a test or two in the hopes it helped marketability, especially since my company usually would foot the bill once I got into the industry. Now though I'd be extremely unlikely to seek another certification at this point in my career.

• Certifications only show that you know how to study for specific questions and have money to purchase them. It doesn't mean you can do the ACTUAL job. Doing the actual job in most cases requires actual experience.

• i work for a university and we are trying to move the few things we have in the cloud back to campus as we don't know if we can trust our data not to be sent to the US from a 3rd party

• I applied for google summer of code 2022 passed the qualification task submit the report after review , after 2 months result rejected guess somebody else has wrote better designer report and formal stuff in it . After asking why rejected told u r all qualified to be selected but they have to choose only one. It dosent have a age limit too so any grown up experienced can make free bucks and why would anybody choose an inexperienced one.

• I would accept a paycut to have no pre-defined meetings. Maybe, like, 10%. I'm not even in the open-source industry.
  I don't see any reason proprietary should be any different.

• finding good developer is pretty hard

• As long as these jobs focus on the real work and not some of the woke crap I’ve seen… retiring the words master/slave and such crap..

• Certifications seem to be a thing for DevOps kind of jobs with AWS GoogleCloud Azure Redhat's etc certifications.

  Kind of makes sense since you're certified to work with with their product, which isn't really a "skill" like having a broader Linux knowledge but more specifically knowing what AWS' thousands of products are all about.

  I don't think that's really a thing for developers tho.

• Guess I'll just be poor and unemployed :'^)

• 69 % nice….

• Any Python Based FOSS project jobs 🙂 ?

• 'I have a bachelor of science in information technology'
  'Ok…….what certifications do you have?'
  'None'
  '……….next!'

• The crappy thing about working in IT is your assigned ultimate goal is to automate yourself out of a job.

• This may seem a bit harsh, but I'd recommend setting up your channel to automatically delete comments with URLs. It cuts down 99% of the spam bots

• Brodie! I know you don't do product reviews, but please tell me what chair are you using. It looks good. I am tired of forking anything between 250 – 300 GB pounds on gaming chairs that in the end, are just crap..Please help someone in POM land..anyway love to Australia.

• I don't know if you earn your money with software development or not, but one particular thing I actually enjoyed about this industry was that everything was based on experience, and not purchased certifications. What a piece of crap. If someone is just collecting dust at a company, that's very very very apparent in the first 15 mins of an interview, so I'm not convinced at all, that certificates help the industry instead of simply gatekeeping people who don't have the funds or the time to attend courses (most of which are useless).

• hasn't the linux foundation been known to use things like macOS though over the years? I recall Bryan Lunduke pointing that out — seems rather odd , a group advocating for linux ….is using such a closed platform.

• It is propaganda unless you suckle at the corporate teat. These statistics are the same rubbish pumped out every time they survey employers.
