I would say they are "fake" because they work using stolen identities and hide their location. In order to receive these high wages they need to pretend to be located in US and they need to provide the paperwork showing they have a right to work there.
Most Linux distros are not Arch either. It would be nice to have more support for this use case in general - like something one can configure easily during the initial OS setup.
I use OpenSuse so I had to use the guide for Fedora, but there were some differences as far as I remember.
The customers here are the executives that then require everyone in their companies to "use AI". It's an old and trusted business model of selling software not to the users, but to their managers.
I've heard this "soft skills are the only skills that matter" thing throughout my entire career but these days this is indeed greatly amplified.
Our CEO started sharing screenshots of his xitter/linkedin feeds and most of them contain wisdoms like "Opus 4.5 is better than 90% of talent". There is also longer form business fan fiction. It usually follows this template: there is a hero - a humble manager/sales person, and a villain - a cocky, nerdy software developer. The villain claims that some task is impossible or takes months to complete. Then the humble hero (equipped with Opus 4.5) completes the task in 2 hours. The villain is then humiliated/fired and everyone lives happily ever after.
These posts definitely contribute to the declining morale among employees. Nobody goes "above and beyond" anymore - we just strictly doing the tickets and nothing more.
This looks awesome. I don't have access to clang++ with reflection enabled yet so I can't really play with it. But does it handle correctly structures with padding (i.e. all members trivial but there is padding between members):
My last C++ job was for a robotics company a few years ago (pre pandemic). The job was not very “embedded”, but quite challenging - processing noisy images from lidars, etc. I worked 60 hour weeks and my salary was 80k or so. Then I realized I can get twice as much just writing Python micro services. So I became a Python developer instead. Much less stress and a lot more free time too.
That statement about open vs closed door was commonly used to justify open plan offices. Now it is being repurposed to justify in-office work in general. Interesting.
My experience is similar. All my carefully crafted resumes with cover letters were not even acknowledged. So I had to resort to resume spraying. After applying to 100 openings or so, I got one phone call which led to the interview and a job offer. I was not a great match for the job but it worked out fine.
