If I was somehow CEO at a hospital or civil engineering firm, I would not for a second think it's my place to start mandating specific procedures or building techniques without explicit agreement from the professionals on staff – how fucking clueless are the non-technicians who have attended a few talks and are now making mandates about how their extremely expensive professionals are doing their jobs?

What sucks is that life could be so easy, so fucking easy. There is so much stuff rotting in storage units, in garages, nearly half of all food goes to waste. There is enough clothing for the next 6 generations! We don't even need to be working really at all, our ancestors broke down their bodies to build all this shit. The least we could do is slow down to actually utilise and fairly distribute it all. Instead, we suffer endlessly while 8 men control half the world's wealth. Fuck.

A version of the "30 to 40 olives" meme. There is text in varying sizes that reads "want to save on costs? need CMOS power, but battery holders are expensive? try soldering a CR2032 to the PCB". Below the text is an image of a circuit board with a CR2032 coin battery soldered onto it via small metal tabs. On top of the image, there is text that reads "just fucking stick it on there" and "good luck getting those tabs off, fuckshit". Below the image is small text: "you will certainly not regret soldering a CR2032 to the PCB".

My latest books cartoon for the @theguardian.com
Panel 1
A repulsive voice rises from a hole in the wilderness
"Remember when books used to be fun? Before the box tickers and bean counters took over?"

Panel 2 to 4
We follow the voice to an cave where an audience watches a fly/demon/monster at a lectern continue "Publishers used to take risks: Books opened portals to hell, drove readers insane, or just moaned in a horrible way! When did you last see a broadsheet review of a book by a mad monk, an evil skeleton or a hobgoblin? My new imprint will challenge the publishing industry's pro-human bias with a ceaseless stream of foul books by malevolent authors."

Panel 5
The fly/demon/monster triumphantly finished
"Also, we'll be doing it entirely with AI!"
The ghouls of the audience shout
"Boo!"
"Shame!"
"Disgraceful!"

The reason the good faith seniors on here are posting that the junior / mid level market is bad (it is) is because we have watched it crash in real time and a lotta of us are dealing with serious fallout as both hiring managers or mentors.
It's genuinely a good faith warning. It's not like, "don't get into the field we love". It's just that for a really long time you could get into cybersecurity with no degree and no IT experience because the demand was so high. And schools, influencers, and parents still play it off that it's like that. That people can work full time remote and make 80k entry salary.
It's not. It hasn't been for a couple years. We've been hit by "professionalizing" and oversaturation of graduates. Can you still get in with a sec+, a kali box and a dream? Maybe, if you really meet the right people and get lucky.
Pragmatically though, that won't be the case for 99.9% of young people now, and if we care at all we need to counter the "everything is rosy" message people are using to sell boot camps. We are getting hundreds of cybersecurity grads and laid off professionals with work rights applying for positions.
How can organizations even take the time to look beyond that at hundreds more juniors with no degree, criminal convictions, a GED, needing a' v sponsor, etc?

GitHub Actions charging per build minute for *self-hosted-runners*? Shit's about to hit the fan lol
You are receiving this email because your usage of GitHub Actions may be impacted by upcoming changes to GitHub Actions pricing.

What’s changing, when

On January 1, 2026, all customers will receive up to a 39% reduction in the net price of GitHub-hosted runners, depending on the machine type used.
On March 1, 2026, we are introducing a new $0.002 per-minute GitHub Actions cloud platform charge that will apply to self-hosted runner usage. Any usage subject to this charge will count toward the minutes included in your plan.
No action is required on your part.
