Those that don't think AI is a threat to the volume of code that will, in future, be written by humans, is very short-sighted. It won't destroy coding, but it will change it significantly.Last edited by Paralytic; 22 May 2023, 12:55.Comment

Almost all perspective clients in my area (Edinburgh/Glasgow) are now pushing for a return to the office; minimum 1 day a week, more commonly 2 days a week, some companies even 3 days in the office...madness.
Coincidentally, I'm kinda tired of living in a city so with the fam we're discussing the possibility of moving to the Highlands for a better quality of life and to deal with less annoying people. So here I go scouting the virtually non existent UX/UI market of the Highlands and I stumble upon this digital agency advertising for a permie UI designer role (very vague job spec and role advertised more than 1 year ago). I send an email and the guy replies saying yes the vacancy is still open. I ask for more info and the agency wants a designer with experience in:- UX/UI
- User Research
- Print/Logo/Web design
- Brand design
- Html, Javascript and CSS
- Motion graphics

I just had a recruiter send me an InMail for a 300 outside fully remote frontend contract ( I never had a contract with this rate). I'm still in a contract that ends soon but in the last month that my profile is open I never had any inMails apart from perm "opportunities".Last edited by andromedan; 22 May 2023, 18:40.Comment

The Scala market seems pretty dead at the moment and approaches have dropped from several per day to maybe one per week.
I wonder how many recruiters have been let go over the past few months because even time-wasters and CV harvesters seem thin on the ground.Comment

I am a UX and i took a break in January to spend time with my family. Now that I was thinking of going back to work I can't seem to find any contracts. There are a good number of permanent openings but contracting is dead. As if IR35 was not enough. Not sure when you see a turnaround all i hear is that we have avoided recession and that businesses are cautious and we may see some recovery signs by the end of this year.
