Vadim Zaytsev @piperatdawn.bsky.social · 16hSo I'm feeling like I really caught the last train to get into IT in the normal old-fashioned way. Just in time to find a low-paying entry point and learn stuff by hand. Now I suppose juniors will be expected to learn AI tools right away to save time and money (unless tokens get super-expensive). 130
Vadim Zaytsev @piperatdawn.bsky.social · 19hIs this some kind of new engagement bait tactic to get people to click accounts that followed them, out of curiosity? Accounts with female names, but profile pics of middle-aged men (obviously, the only post is a link to OnlyFans). 010

It was treated as a joke, nbd, the work of a few bad apples--as all terrorism against women is--& that failure leads here. 3242291119
