A software friend of mine pointed out that 2023 had a huge amount of layoffs in this field. According to Linkin, Crowdstrike had a bunch of unfilled positions even halfway into 2024. Which is nuts, because the layoffs last year would have had people firing up their resumes and Crowdstrike should have been swimming in applications, and filling those positions. People like to gripe about unqualified people, but the sheer numbers indicate that this cannot explain the discrepancy.
Basically, Crowdstrike either did some really shoddy outsourcing to India while still saying they're hiring, or these chucklefucks thought they could depend on generative AI to make up the difference.
SOP is to lowball offers and/or require a thousand years experience, then tell the government that there aren't any qualified candidates and hire pajeets for pennies and reinforcements.
That or the industry has been staffed predominantly by unqualified people for a while, which would account for a lot of the decline in overall quality we've seen in the past decade.
I doubt it. I bet they thought they knew what they were doing, and were told to do it in a specific way.
