Recent hiring trends suggest that employers may be favouring senior developers with significant pre-AI experience.

As I’ve been only half-joking for over a year, the devs who’ll be in highest demand in this age of AI will be the ones who don't need it.

While I’m on a tear, a big shout out to older women on here. We’re so often deficit-coded in relation to both tech and political naïveté, and we’re made invisible by the cultures around us.

We’re formidably experienced and carry a lifetime of wisdom. We’ve led teams, lifted weight, made things happen, raised families, buried love and loved ones, balanced all kinds of budgets, learned and taught. We’ve carried humans, illness, joy, change and injury in our bodies that are the most speculated about and over managed, and this goes double and triple for women who weren’t always recognised as who they are.

We see each other, we learn from each other, we hold each other up when all of it is too much.

The latest numbers are in, and it is clear the battle over the “snowbirds” is over.

There was widespread speculation that Canadian snowbirds (seniors who spend the winter months in the sunshine belt) would abandon the boycott to return to their favourite haunts in Texas, Florida, South Carolina and Nevada.

It didn’t happen.

The Canadian boycott of the United States is showing no signs of weakening.
