    Well believe it gramps, most of the open source projects contributors now either just do content creation as a side hustle or are permanently looking for work, at least in my experience

        Yeah. Broken economy, broken world, etc etc. it’s like a bad dream that won’t end. IRL is the doomscroll now.

        I don’t blame you, just be thankful you’re so out of touch you find it hard to believe.

          Well to see it from the perspective from the inside: we always have hundreds of openings, and I’ve seen openings for months and years without suitable candidates. Sometimes lots of bad applicants and sometimes no applicants at all.

          That’s for the niche openings. For regular graduate stuff new people start every single day.

          It’s hard to match up that with the fact that some people apparently aren’t getting a single application progressed.
